The manual is providing the following information. “… Generate Makefile.in for configure from Makefile.am. …” > for a rather small project: around 50 .c and .cpp files, some of them in a > library, no libtool or anything fancy. Larger projects take longer. I suggest to take further looks at corresponding software run time characteristics. Can the command parameter “--verbose” (and tracing) be omitted for other program executions? > Is there a way to speed 'automake' up? Some software design possibilities might still be applicable. How many efforts would you like to invest for desirable improvements? Regards, Markus
