    smallest program at work was probably about 3-4000 lines. The biggest was between 16 and 17 million lines of code (luckily I did not need to write it all by myself ). Took about 30 minutes to compile on a P4 1.7GHz using Borland C++ 5.

    I never counted lines. We have one C++ Client/Server/Server ( yes, two different Servers ). The servers compile in 2 minutes, the client in 10 probably because of all the graphical stuff. One of the servers needs 20 libraries which compile in 3 minutes each. Fortunately, a full recompile is only needed about once a month.

    We have another Client/Server/Server Project ( we love this kind of structure, don't we *g* ) in C# of approximately same size which takes about the same time to compile.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    that owns!!! I can't wait to get a job programming and making a program that takes that long to compile. I feel cool when just my code in the GUI takes more than a milisecond to load, and you can imagine how fast my code compiles . But I'm working on it!

    Please explain your reasoning in bumping this several month old thread.

    edit:

    Look at rule 5 of the board rules.

    You make 2 crappy threads and then bump a thread that's 8 months old? I'd watch my step if I were you.
