Comparing clone and build time between native Windows and Linux VM

buildtime.md

About

These are timings for cloning the squash repository including submodules, running CMake to generate makefiles, and building the project in debug mode.

All toolsets run on the same machine (Core i5, 8 GB, Win10 64):

  • Win Native - Git for Windows, CMake, and MinGW-w64 running in Cmder
  • MSYS2 - The MSYS2 compiles of these tools running in the bash it comes with
  • Linux Mint VM - Linux Mint running in VMware on the same machine

The Linux Mint VM runs older version of the tools, so the timings are not directly comparable for the build, but I believe they give a good indication.
