that#s what the current eprogress script tries to do. It counts the number of .c and .cpp files in the work directory and compares them with the number of .o files, presenting the latter as a percentage of the former. Sometimes it fails miserably, like with glibc, but most of the time it gives a reasonable approximation of how far through the build progress you have progressed. -- Neil Bothwick HEALTH WARNING: The InterNet can be addictive and cause a lack of real social life.
