Give user feedback when libraries need to compile for first time

[mxa]

Building a project something for the first time takes a long time because of the libraries being build. The user might even think the Bela has crashed or stalled.
Suggestion: give the user a warning / info message on first compile when libraries are missing and need to be built (this may take some time, grab a coffee)?
Generally, do we know th number of tasks for (project) compilations? Can we have something like a progress bar or at least a task count? (5 of 15 tasks completed)

can we get this information from make ? If we can, then we could consider doing this.

An alternative is to have the core code built as part of the "update board" process, but the process is already long enough that I wouldn't want to add any more to it ...
