Troubleshooting makepanda on Windows
====================================

This page describes potential build issues that may arise when building
Panda3D using the Makepanda build system on the Windows platform, and possible
solutions.

Build takes long
----------------

Due to flaws in the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, a build with Eigen enabled
can take many hours to complete. It is advised to add the --no-eigen option
when compiling Panda3D to disable this optional feature, sacrificing a tiny
amount of runtime performance for a build that completes in minutes rather
than hours.
