Too much time taken to build GR

Thanks, I downloaded the tar.gz file from the link given in your post and then tried to build GR after putting it in the “…/deps/download” folder. It still went on to download tar.gz file. I then modified the “…/dep/build.jl” and commented out code as per the following and then build GR. The build was quick.

version = get_version()
  tarball = "gr-$version-$os-$arch.tar.gz"
  # rm("downloads", force=true, recursive=true)
  @info("Downloading pre-compiled GR $version $os binary")
  # mkpath("downloads")
  # file = "downloads/$tarball"
  
  # try
  #   # url = "github.com/sciapp/gr/releases/download/v$version/$tarball"
  #   url ="gr-framework.org/downloads/$tarball"
  #   download("http://$url", file)
  # catch
  #   url = "gr-framework.org/downloads/$tarball"
  #   try
  #     download("http://$url", file)
  #   catch
  #     @info("Using insecure connection")
  #     try
  #       download("http://$url", file)
  #     catch
  #       @info("Cannot download GR run-time")
  #     end
  #   end
  # end
  if os == :Windows
    home = (VERSION < v"0.7-") ? JULIA_HOME : Sys.BINDIR
    success(`$home/7z x downloads/$tarball -y`)
    # rm("downloads/$tarball")
    tarball = tarball[1:end-3]
    success(`$home/7z x $tarball -y -ttar`)
    # rm(tarball)
  else
    run(`tar xzf downloads/$tarball`)
    rm("downloads/$tarball")
  end
