Re: Probably a silly question but asking it anyway regarding Make

folks,

After compiling a program the first time if you update the source later 
and then rerun make again will it just update the bits that are changed 
or do you need to do a complete make clean and start the compile from 
scratch?
   

This is what make was designed to do - update only the bits that changed
and anything that depends on those bits.

So basically it's been taking me 8+ hours to compile mozilla from 
scratch everytime for no good reason....

Darn ;)
