Dear,

I am starting with flowcode V6.

I'm compiling a small program on an LED and it takes me 40 "to compile the program.

Is this normal?
Is there any way to speed it up ?.

Thank you

Hi
Flowcode V6 does take a little longer than Flowcode 5 to compile because of the extra security checks incorporated to prevent piracy.
The overall compile time does depend on PC speed, program size and some third party software Eg Antivirus scanning/clashing with Boost C compiler and linker programs.
I know that boost C is a slow compiler when compared with other compilers, so that will add to the overall time as well but should not be that much difference to V5
You can see if stopping any antivirus will help to speed it up.
Perhaps you can post the flowchart and I will time compiling to Hex speed then compare results.

Hello,

It's true that it's very annoying.
Especially for people like me who make many mistakes and that compile every 2 minutes.

In flowcode for PIC24 and dsPIC, it's very fast and it's much more enjoyable.
I think it will be fixed in Flowcode 7 because the compiler will not be boost C but I'm not sure.

Hello,

40 "

Do you mean 40 seconds or 40 minutes? I thought the " symbol meant inches

40 seconds might be ok, 40 minutes is certainly wrong and likely caused by your antivirus/firewall software.

V7 is currently looking good for a new, faster 8-bit PIC compiler.

It does with lengths but not Angles:

Cheers Martin,

That's a new one on me but good to know
