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.
