Yeah linking in windows is _very_ slow. Supposedly this is because the linker forks a lot of processes. In linux this is fine as forking is dirt cheap, but in windows (at least older versions, not completely sure about vista or 7) forking is expensive.
Building a Qt app on my EEE in linux only takes a couple seconds. Building in windows on my dual core 3.2Ghz machine takes 15-30 seconds. It's pretty sad. I second Bulat's suggestion. If you can compile everything and just use ghci to avoid the link you should be able to get the best of both works. - Job On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 12:34 AM, Bulat Ziganshin <[email protected] > wrote: > Hello Michael, > > Friday, September 18, 2009, 6:42:32 AM, you wrote: > > > Now I'm wondering if Hugs is a faster interpreter. > > 2x slower, and incompatib;e with qtHaskell > > > meaningful way without compilation.
