Then, just be patient. | in sub-optimal builds of axiom this would be extremely difficult. | as soon as you try to do optimization i can't figure out how to | break the circles in parallel. write down very carefully the dependencies. That does not solve the dependency problem itself. But it does expose the potential for parallel build -- and make is good at exploiting that. sman, hyper, documentations, don't need to have AXIOMsys built before being made. Many files in interp/ do not need to be compiled sequentially. Even in algebra/, the build is sequential only at the layers level. [...] | fast algebra is much more important than fast builds. fast algebra is not a substitute for fast builds. Meaning, we could and should have both. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
