Hugo Cardozo Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Hello, I'm trying to upgrade Armbian on my little OrangePi Lite, and it's been 3 days at it already. It is stuck at "Compiling headers", and it is not hung, I can use it. It does happen from time to time to all my SoCs, sometimes I prefer to re-dd and reconfigure. So I was thinking, if compilation cannot be avoided, can it be done on another computer? Cross-compile?
Igor Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 If you don't need headers, you can kill that process that upgrade can continue and repeat headers compilation manually later.
Hugo Cardozo Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 It worked, thank you. But I think I made a valid point, somebody would need the headers and SoCs usually are too underpowered to fast compiling. Maybe it can be done on a faster machine and later just installed on the destination SoC?

Maybe it can be done on a faster machine and later just installed on the destination SoC? It is usually a storage problem rather than CPU utilization. Adding a timeout for the headers compilation is on the TODO list, but it will be implemented slowly and probably not soon.
