Hi List, While working on the Build Environment Effort(1), we stumbled over the implicit dependency of all modules generating resource files on default_images. The resource compiler digs into the default_images directory for the files specified in the *.src/*.hrc files. However, since there is no need for rsc to actually read the file contents when generating *.res files, the dependency is much heavier than needed. After all, everything rsc needs to know is _if_ there is a file with a given name, but not its contents. To get rid of this dependency, we are considering to simply generate a file containing the dirstate of default_images (for example the output of "find default_images") and put that in the solver. rsc would use the contents of that file, and would not try to search default_images directly. This would: - reduce dependencies - for example allow to build sw without having a complete default_images around - ease further efforts like split build/better support for full deps
