Hi,
I have a very large vee program implementing a test automation for WIFI. Each time that I modify something and want to run the program it hangs for 10-15 minutes (if not more !!!) and does not respond to anything. What can I do to shorten this start compilation time?
Best Regards

As Mike notes, this is likely nothing to do with compilation, but rather something else in your routines. A good way to test this is to turn off compilation and see if your startup time changes. The only gotcha is that your program may or may not function with compilation turned off.
Instead I'll suggest going back to basics: turn on the debugging and single-step through your program. If it quickly brings you to an active object then not only do you know that it isn't a compilation issue but you'll also be set up to step through the program and find out where the time sink is.

Hello,
Thank you for the tips. Sorry to get back to you after a very long time. The problem I mentioned was solved with disabling compiler warnings (File > Default Preferences > General). I had too many warnings regarding uncertain data flow. I don't know if it is safe to disable this or not, but since I checked the warnings and made sure the data flow is correct, disabling compiler warning helped me to reduce the start time to second(s).
Kind Regards

We're going to need more information. Does it take that time every time it starts or only after you've modified it? Are you developing on one machine and deploying it onto another?
My guess is that there is a setup routine in your software, maybe it checks the instruments in your system, that takes the time but without knowing anything about the program, what it does, what it performs at startup and the like there's going to be little anyone on this forum can do to determine where the problem lie.
