three possibilities.... first, the whole point of using 'make' is that you don't have to do a full build except the first time. unfortunately you are working on the makefiles which is a very rare situation. i know it is painful (from experience) but it would be useless to optimize build times since almost no-one else will have the problem. second, do machine-parallel builds. fix a problem on one machine and while it builds, move to the next machine. third, have the build check for obj/sys/bin/lisp and if it exists skip the lisp build step (unless you are hacking that makefile). t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
