Some of us remember what that sort of thing was like, not so very long ago...
- nineteen999 2y agoBack then GCC was much smaller, and only contained C code, not C++. But sure, let's compare apples and ... much bigger heavier apples.
- Gibbon1 2y agoI made a meme and sent it to my even older coworker with two guys from the office looking pensive. Titled 'The Build Failed Saturday and Again Sunday Night'
- brucehoult 2y agoI remember when I got CodeWarrior on my PowerMac 6100/60 and suddenly I could answer questions online about weird MacApp problems by making a temporary project with their code and compiling the whole of MacApp in 5 minutes. Previously that had taken about 2 hours (Quadra with MPW), and I did clean builds only when absolutely necessary. Truly painful was trying to write large programs in Apple (UCSD) Pascal on a 1 MHz 6502.
