I used to develop using Visual Studio on windows… (C++)
we recently migrated our app to linux (red-hat) , and currently each employee is building his own app is his own virtual machine using Vmware. out native OS is still Windows.
At first, it seemed that building using g++ was faster then using VS compiler, however, after some time, it seems like it tured out to be pretty slow. Is it beacuse we’re using Vmware ?
are there things we can do to accelerate the building process ?
g++ is not a speed daemon, but it performs well. Yes, a VM can have unsteady performance, especially on disk access. You can always try ccache to avoid recompiling the parts you don’t need to.
Or, ditch VMWare (and windows underneath) and do it all on Linux. either with a dedicated build box, or on your own machine. if you have to have a full featured GUI for writing, QtCreator is quite up to the task (no, it’s not tied to only writing Qt applications).
