Compiling on my system is hanging after 45 min+  
How long does it take normally?

Here is my full output, just hangs on that last line:

Tips or assistance muchly appreciated!

EDIT: it eventually does crash, with this error:

Uh, based on THAT error I think it’s a compiler problem? It’s sending you to gcc’s bug tracking, not DDA’s.

Obviously not a good thing to have happen, though. Sorry. ☹

How much ram do you have on your system? It’s possible it’s eating all of it on the ridiculously large game.cpp

Yup, that was it! Didn’t work with 512 MB of memory. But it worked after I upped it to a gig.  
All good, thanks.
