I’ve a project that has .C codes generated from Simulink Models (using RTW).
The executable needs to be generated for a LynxOS RTOS, I use cygwin, but its too slow, takes several hours to compile & link some ~ 650 .C code files and libraries.
I was wondering if its possible to put those sources & libraries for share on VMware Player (on Windows) running any Ubuntu or any other linux flavor and then generate the executable ? Will this be faster ?
The ways you can tackle this listed from fastest to slowest:
The tradeoff between 2 and 3 is disk access. Shared folders or network drives are slow, especially for compilation purposes. I always go with option 2 unless for some trivial thing.
