Why does it take so long for MPV to compile on Debian?

Because it's not gentoo

you must have shit hardware, or it bundles some libraries. it builds pretty fast on gentoo.
>>55662179
Why are you even compiling it when it's right there in the repo?
Are you specifying the job count?
>>55662179
Compiling a kernel with debian's config and making debian packages out of it and the headers takes almost 2 hours on my q6600!
A zillion modules that'll never get used.
>>55663290
Probably because he wants to be on gentoo but is too retarded to install it
>>55662179
Define long
Because you have to compile the video decoder too thanks to the whole libav/ffmpeg thing that Debian took a side on.

Ever thought about not compiling things you won't need?

Stop using a computer from the year 2000
Sounds like you need more cores.

I replaced one of those last year and was glad. Didn't even sell it, just threw it out. Had a working motherboard with 4x2GB DDR2 as well.

Depends on your version.
Stretch and later versions include ffmpeg, Firefox, etc.

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

why do people make linux users compile programs instead of providing a .exe of some sort?
please don't tell me .exe's don't exist on linux
>>55666574
No, they don't. Linux is using .txt files.
