Hi all,
Hi Dalibor !
with 1.1.2 out of the door, I think it's the appropriate time to revisit our class library build system once more. ;)
While the current build system works all right in most cases, it doesn;t fully utilize make's dependency checking. So if you change a java class source file to fix a bug, you need to recompile the whole class library. That's quite expensive when all you've got to build java classes is kjc, and you're running on the interpreter engine. Especially if you decide to interrupt your build in the middle of the class library compilation. ;)
I am personnally totally for that sort of revisiting. These dependency fixes are quite annoying and time consuming. If we had a way to make it fully automatic introducing new classes in the CVS would be really easy. This only leaves for me 2 drawbacks:
* presence of quite a big file in the CVS
* and maybe the time for GNU make to parse and check the dependency tree when building.
But personally the advantages are so important that I would just forget these two.
Cheers, Guilhem.
