Title: esp8266 on “PlatformIO” on “VS Code”: dog slow compile times
Post by: eti on February 08, 2023, 11:33:12 pm

esp8266 on “PlatformIO” on “VS Code”: dog slow compile times; does anyone know why? I’m compiling basic sample code from ”FastLED”

Many Thanks.

- actual compile time?
- system spec (cpu/hdd)?

Specs are irrelevant, because apparently it’s the “FastLED” libraries which are horrendously poorly optimised for compilation. 

Thanks for the links.
