That was an unintended sideeffect of the Makefile.in removal. I know about (thanks moggi), but do not know a simple fix restoring the old behavior. All the gory details: We now have a gbuild makefile on the toplevel and I recurses to get the Env etc. since shm_get implemented that to get rid of the need to source the Env in the shell. Unfortunately, make does not pass the -o stuff down during recursion (and I found no way to make it do that as the -o stuff is not in MAKEFLAGS), so that change broke the use of -o and possibly quite a few more advanced flags to GNU make. No one noticed as people rarely seem to use it unless directly suggested to do so. Possible workaround: Creating a quick-dev-install target, that does the same as "dev-install -o build" and update the docs/hints. > Additionally, the incremental build (just after "make" successfully > finished, no source file touched/changed) relinks quite some libraries > and JCS/JAR files, I'm not sure why.

For the JCS files it is pretty much unavoidable as the java compiler has no clear 1:1 file relation between source and class files, so they have to be rerun. However, IIRC the java compiler does not recompile stuff it recognized to be up-to-date, but still that is a lot slower then make itself would be. One could consider to externally generate deps for JCS, but that is likely fragile too. Better minimize the use of Java instead ;) As for the relinking, most of it should be solved with: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2c4537471c932b65e6f72e41881b505c4bbad12c Are there other gremlins left?
