Compiling for 5th edition takes forever

I'm using latest Qt SDK (1.2.1) and I have a medium size Widget-based app. Compiling for Symbian^3 takes a reasonable amount of time (under 1min), but compiling for 5th edition takes something between 5 and 10 minutes, from which the longest time is this command:
[CODE]
make -s -C \Develop\QtProjects\MyProject -f "MAKEFILE_MYPROJECT_EXE.MK" TO_ROOT=..\..\.. EPOCBLD=\QtSDK\Symbian\SDKs\Symbian1Qt473\EPOC32\BUILD\MAKEFILE_MYPROJECT_EXE\GCCE TO_BLDINF=..\..\..\Develop\QtProjects\MyProject PLATFORM=GCCE MAKMAKE
perl -S makmake.pl -D \Develop\QtProjects\MyProject\MYPROJECT_EXE GCCE [/CODE]

Is it normal to compile this slow? I have one of the faster computers available now (i7 quad core with 8GB of RAM, running Windows 7 x64) and I find this ridiculously slow. Is it something wrong with my perl version, gcce or environment configuration?

Hi,

there seems to be issues with the perl on symbian for slow compilation. There are upstream bugs mentioned [URL="https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-1558"]here[/URL], but i couldnt open the links in that bug, does anyone have any idea?

I see this too, 1 minute to compile for Symbian^3, and a minimum of 16 minutes to compile for S60 5th (at this point I walked away). A bit of a nightmare productivity wise.

You could try to take some advice written in [url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/showthread.php?215545-compiling-for-symbian-device-takes-ages[/url] (I found this thread after I started this). I don't have time at the moment to clean up my code, I just removed all the #include <QtGui>, but no significant change.
