How long does it take to compile a APM on ubuntu 14.04?

I am compiling it now.

The source codes could be more than 160MBs.

I think this will last long.

How do you think?

What’s platform are you compiling on. It take 2m15s on my Quad Core i7 desktop and 15mins of a RPi2.

You can speed the build by setting -j parameter on linux/osx to make the build faster N= number of cores or max number of hyper-thread ie 4 core i5 you would use 4, 4 core i7 you would use 8. 4 core RPi wouls also be 4

Thank you!

I used -j options on my PC. mine is core i5, so I used -j4 when compiling.

It really took some time to get it down. And I found there was a bug when flashing firmware to 3DR telemetry devices.

So I fixed the codes.

Here: github.com/diydrones/apm_planner/pull/792

Then I was able to flash the latest firmware to my 3DR telemetry devices on Ubuntu 14.04.

Hope any guy can prove it.

And we can add more features in the future soon.
