How long it takes to build fife?

Hi there!
I am trying to build fife: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fife/
As it is a dependency of unknow horizons...

but it just keeps on

[  0%] Swig source
Scanning dependencies of target _fife
[  1%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/_fife.dir/fifePYTHON_wrap.cxx.o

forever, and memory usage is increasing (2.7 of 3gb ram & 2 of 6gb swap)
I am guessing if it is going to crash the system at some point...

Is that normal? should I just wait?

If your RAM is full, and your system is using swap, then everything will be very slow. I didn't notice any large amount of RAM being used, but the package still took about 10 minutes to build on my 3rd generation i7.

Wow, that is fast! :-D
I just let it there... it lasted like 2 1/2 hours (almost 98% of the time on that 1% line)
I guess my Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T5670 @ 1.80GHz × 2 is bit old :-D

PD: oh, and yes... the system was a bit laggy
