Hmmm, looks like it build twice; one for static lib and one for
dynamic link.
I tried using --enable-static=no with configure and then it compiles
only once.
May be we should include --enable-static=no in build.sh
Good idea. Acutally since we don't use static libs I can do this in our
build.sh. Actually enabling this reduced my complete build time by
nearly 1 min.

Hi Samisa,
This happens only when it compile a library. When it compile an
executable it won't happen twice. For example if you test this for an
client executable you can see it compile only once. But if you go to
server samples you can see that it build twice. I think this is how
GNU build works and we can't do anything about it. To verify this I
looked at other two projects(libdvdcss and wsdl pull) using GNU build
system and found that there same thing happen.
thanks

Damitha, the problem is partially fixed but not completely.
Digging further into the problem, I found that almost all source
files are compiled twice.
1. Source file compiled with "-fPIC -DPIC" options and object placed
in .libs folder inside source folder
2. Source file compiled without "-fPIC -DPIC" options and object
placed in source folder
I do not think that this is necessary, we should have only one
compiling of a given source.
Thanks,

Hi Samisa,
Thanks very much for pointing this out. I found the reason for
this and fixed it.

This must be the reason for the *very* slow build time.
To verify this do a 'make clean' and then 'sh build.sh > out'
Then 'vi out' and '/http_worker.c' and search next. There are
multiple occurences.
This we have to fix. It is annyoing to wait till a build finishes
- takes *so long* :-(
