I think at scale (according to Wikipedia the 5.6 release has ~33M lines of code) the Linux kernel might be one of the easiest (and quickest) projects to compile

I think at scale (according to Wikipedia the 5.6 release has ~33M lines of code) the Linux kernel might be one of the easiest (and quickest) projects to compile[1].

- gpderetta 6y agoI haven't compiled my own kernel in at least 15 year but I remember it was quite easy (is make menuconfig still the way to go?). I did have much more free time though.
- haihaibye 6y agoSurely most of those lines of codes are optional modules and device drivers - so aren't compiled for most users or this test?
