The error message translates to "can't find stack". In the standalone
settings, do you refer to any other stack? Is the stack where it
should be? Are you using any externals and if so, do you have them for
all the platforms you are building for.

However, a build time of more than 2 hours seems to indicate that
something is seriously wrong. While I have never tried to compile a
stack with 450 cards, I have built apps with a lot more than 9 MB and
they take less than a minute to build.

Are you using "Search for required inclusions" or do you select the
required inclusions yourself? If you are using the search, I strongly
recommend that you turn it off and see if that helps.

Cheers,
