I want to build a package on my RP3+ for mythtv. Is it advised to use external USB hard drive for heavy compiles?? If I look at webpages about building it on Raspbian the writer advised actually booting from a hard drive.
I was thinking about mounting a 100GB partition from an external USB drive as /home/jim/build so all my building stuff would be located there. My boot microSD is just 32GB so I doubt it's big enough anyway.
Thought?
