Hi! As there seems to be a tendency to add dependencies to the Win32 build process to get each and everything build automatically, the normal build is getting slower and slower.
Currently I'm building the debug-gtk2 target, which I've once added to only build the GTK2 version of Wireshark and copy over the corresponding files to wireshark-gtk2 - for debugging Wireshark. When I'm currently doing nmake -f Makefile debug-gtk2, I'm getting the hell of things done that I very certainly don't need for normal debugging: - UPX packaging - lib download - WSDG generation - ... ... and in addition to this, some steps of the above are *repeatedly* done! This gives me a pretty, pretty bad "code to build ratio" (10s coding, 10min building) :-((( Is there really a need to build all that? We should be really careful adding dependencies like hell, making the normal developing as slow as it currently is. Regards, ULFL P.S: As a consequence, I tend to stop develop pcapng for now, as this is currently a big waste of time ... _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
