Hi, i use "make" in a large project. Everything works, it is just very slow.
From invoking "make" to the first command it takes about a minute. I think "make" first needs to get an overview of the dependencies of the files (internal, just in memory) and their time stamps (external, read from disk). I don't know how "make" works internally, but would it be an improvement to tell make right in the beginning to check the directories a, b, c and so on for _all_ their files and their content? Just as a hint? Make could then first read all the hint-directory contents and their timestamps and then use these informations as a "cache". Would that be possible? Would that be an improvement? Is something like this maybe already available and i just haven't yet seen it? Best regards, Torsten. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
