Build time reduction in Cygwin

[viterbi]

Hi friends,
First of all let me wish all of u a "HAPPY NEWYAER". I am compiling my C source code for the mobile handset using cygnus in Windows 2000 (1.8 Ghz and 256 mb Ram). There are around 250 mb of source files and takes around two and half hours. I would like to reduce the time taken to build the image (on ADS). Any suggestions from experiance peoples are welcome.
Rgds...

If you use NTFS file system, try this registry seting:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001

If you are not interested in debugging, make sure the -g option is not used.
