I'm wondering if you could set up a permanent cache file for ./configure (like ~/.config.cache) and pass it to ./configure every time you build software so that it can cache answers and speed the process up a bit? Is this possible, and how much faster would it make ./configure?
Create PREFIX/etc/config.site, put something like (tweak it to your liking): if test "$cache_file" = ./config.cache; then cache_file="$prefix/var/config.cache" # A cache file is only valid for one C compiler. CC=gcc fi in it, and you're done. This is noted in the manual for GNU autoconf by the way, notably in (autoconf)Site Defaults. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
