WINOWS: Go Build is **really** slow #544

Closed ax4w closed 1 year ago

ax4w commented 1 year ago

When I build a small SDL2 program, it takes like 3-4 minutes to compile on windows 11. Meanwhile on my macOS install its almost instant

Hi @0x3alex, thanks for submitting this issue! Was the Windows build the first time it was ever built and does it still take a long time on subsequent builds? If so, it sounds like go-sdl2 is being built each time your program is compiled, in which case may I know which version of Go you are using on Windows and how you are compiling your program?

Hi, so it was for the first, let me guess, three to four builds. I added the -x flag and it seemed like, that it rebuild all of the SDL2 stuff...

I then restarted the CMD and now its as fast as on macOS...

Windows is weird :(

Ahh okay, I was thinking that either the Go version is too old (<1.13) where you had to pre-build go-sdl2 if you didn't install go-sdl2 a certain way or the build command had a -a flag which always rebuilds everything.
