Did you forget to put entities inside the map? You need at least an info_player_start, an info_player_deathmatch and a light.

some maps take several hours or even more to compile, depending on their size and your computer.
Try a problem check in hammer though (alt+p).
Also which part is taking so long (What does it say above the 10%...20%...30%... line?)

btw LOL I was just going to tell you to make sure you didn't turn the whole map into one brush since that's what I'd done one time and then I saw you'd already found it.
