Hi,
While I find the build process basically opaque, I think
anything that can be done to make it better and ckearer is well worth it.
For me some simple examples and some clearer explanation
of the intent of the various makes would be a big help.
i.e.-
1. rebuild all except toolset = ??? ( Saves LOTS of time )
2. clear world and rebuild as if just downloaded to a new
directory.
3. erase full directory tree, (try to) download all files and
rebuild
4. save all downloaded files (somewhere) , erase full directory
tree and rebuild
FWIW - I usually do 4. manually but would rather do 1. if it really
worked? Maybe it already does?
warm regards,
wiz
