There is a tool - genlop - that lists information about compile times but it doesn't predict - it only looks at past compiles. Once you have some compiles you can use it. Other than that ask others on the list what their time is for a package and what kind of system they have. Genlop shows my OpenOffice 7 hours on a dual AMD 1.9 with 2 gig of memory.

Hi! I'm new to Gentoo Linux, I hope you will understand my horrible english..

I know that any new program needs to be compiled, but sometimes it takes a really long time (mozilla, openoffice.....)

Is there any expedient that let me know the compiling progress? Or the time that will take to compile a packet?

Thanks

Mauro
