Except that you spell make "./INSTALL", but yeah. > Plus, if you only want one piece, build it all anyway -- it's fast! > I don't see the problem. It's not *that* fast. Compared to a Linux kernel build, sure. But when I'm doing regression tests to make sure that everything still builds everywhere, I sure wish it was 10x faster. Building everything isn't entirely realistic for some people. If I want to write some big program that uses libfmt for a small part, it's nice that I can just ship the standalone libfmt instead of requiring people to build the entire thing. Building just libfmt is even faster. And arguably there are a few more pieces that could stand on their own, though once you start dealing with 9P I think you should just take the whole thing. Russ
