I had the problem of running out of space and the OO build failing because of it. I have since freed up enough space to complete the install, but I was curious about something else. In the event that the OO build fails, can the keepwork feature be used to essentially start the build again where it left off. I know that make will check the modified time on files to determine if object files and such should be recompiled, but does qmake or whatever OO is using to do the build do the same? Or, are key files modified that force the recompile of all object files? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
