I'd be happy with merging libcore/asobj and libcore/vm into libcore, for a start. > To speed up linking, I use Binutils Gold, btw. Just a note: Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) shipped a gold incompatible with libc.

Oh, since we're talking about it, I moved dump gnash in its own dir, where you don't have utility libs, and specifically to speedup rebuilds during developmeng of that specific client, and saw it moved back to recursive in the hwaccel branch. Should we move to recursive GUI/ subdirs instead ? After all each executable is linked separately... --strk; () Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer /\ http://strk.keybit.net/services.html _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
