I just did the bakefile editing and re-gen jig necessary for compiling wx 2.8.4 with dmc in release mode.

Oh ... my ... goodness.
Is it supposed to take *that* long?
I killed my compile midstream numerous times because I thought it had gone into an infinite loop (as optlink sometimes does).
The aui sample took at least 5 full minutes to compile & link.  Is that normal?

The default debug config took nowhere near that much time.  Maybe a few seconds to link the aui sample.

I've got dmc "8.42n" and optlink 8.00.1. on Win XP.

I timed the release-unicode build.  14 minutes 10 seconds, almost all spent on this compile command:

C:\usr\pkg\wxWidgets\wxMSW-2.8.4\samples\aui>make -f makefile.dmc
dmc -mn -c -cpp -odmc_mswu\auidemo_auidemo.obj -o -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 -D__WXMSW__ -D_UNICODE  -I.\..\..\lib\dmc_lib\mswu -I.\..\..\include -w- -I. -WA -I.\..\..\samples -DNOPCH -Ar -Ae    .\auidemo.cpp


Once past that the resource compile (rcc) and final link steps happen almost instantly.

I am pretty sure that compile command line activates the optimizer and yes, when the optimizer is activated things can take rather long and in the end you get rather small and fast code... ;-)
