I really don't know.  It has been months since I did it.

 

But the time it takes on my system here may not be representative.  This is a workstation built on Intel's Core i7, with 8 GB RAM, so everything on it is fast.  I have yet to push it beyond about 60% of its avaiable processing power.  ;-)

 

I notice, though, you used " make && sudo make install"

 

I tend to be paranoid, so I do things one step at a time.  First make, then (if the makefile includes a test target) 'make check', and then only if all compiles well, 'make install'.

 

Quantlib uses the typical unix configure, build and then install process vis:

 

./configure

make

make install

 

Before you run the above commands, though, you would be wise to run './configure --help' so you know what options you may want to set.  And I would run 'make check' between make and make install.

 

Cheers

 

Ted

any thoughts on how long this should take -  3+ hours seems awfully long....I wonder if my make command is correct.
 
Should I just kill it?
