Problem fixed. But just how long should I expect for LO to build? I've seen estimates on the net of and hour or two on a less powerful processor than my own: but I've always had the impression it would be a seriously long time.

That does not depend only on your processor, but also on your mass storage device (HD or SSD), the use or not of ccache (for a second build) and the build options you have chosen (for example the number of parallel jobs). And probably on your OS too.

For me a complete build is about 2 hours with an i7 with 2 physical cores and an SSD, if I allow 2 parallel jobs to the build system. I use a Linux OS. On my previous PC it was about 4 hours with a HD and a i7 from an older generation.

Be patient. :-)

Wise words. Thanks for your reply.

I left it running all evening; it took somewhere between 2.5 and 5.5 hours to complete (which it did first time of asking). This was a first-time build on a VM - quad 3.1GHz i5-3450 processor, 2Gb memory allocated and running Mint (was swapping more than I'd have wished).

Having established it would build and run (with the same video problem, incidentally), I finally looked at the sources. Now I begin to see why changes take so long.... not a comment in sight for one thing, and a spider's web of complexity. Sheesh! Nightmarish.
