Developer PC requiremets?

Hi Bruck,

you 're welcome.

the best development platform is Linux, after for PC requirements, a fast processor is required, I used a long time ago an FX-8350 + 16GO RAM , then a Ryzen 1700X + 32GO RAM and now a Threadripper 3960X + 64 GO RAM.
Joshua has used my FX-8350 so far, he has been using my old Ryzen 1700X plateform.

I need a lot of CPU power and a lot of RAM because I compile or cross-compile and create all Linux, Windows, macOS, AppImages, Flatpak, etc. packages and use a lot of VMs.

After all it depends on your patience ... if you have to wait 20 minutes for the program to compile each time  (full compile after make clean)...

AMD FX-8350 ~ 5 mn (8C/8 T) 2012 -2016
AMD RYZEN 1700X   ~ 1 mn40 (8C/16 T)  2016 - 2020
AMD Threadripper 3960X   ~16 s  (24C/48T)  2020 ...

qmake ../qelectrotech.pro
time make -j49

sys     0m57,794s

QET is a small program which is not too heavy to compile, in comparison it is nothing compared to cross-compiling a complete Qt environment and all its related libraries.

For starting, fork our github repository, and see for compile :

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for info. I have to say.. wow.  Even oldest CPU configuration you used before, is much more powerful then I have now or can invest.
However I'll take a look into source links you provide!

Best regards!
