Hi.
I am looking for a good example of a project with non-recursive Make
that is using Automake, that is not trivial. I would like to convert my
project, log4cplus, to non-recursive Make style, if it is possible. Any
recommendations?
I am not sure if it is a "good" example (might not use official
recommended practices) but GraphicsMagick (~300K lines of code) has
been using non-recursive make since not long after Automake supported
it.
Parallel build is shown to scale very well on multi-core systems
(tested on up to 64 cores). I am observing 86% per-core scalability
for fully optimized (-O2) debuggable (-g -g3 -ggdb) builds, with the
linker being the main limiter of scalability.
Make sure to avoid any directory recursion and avoid use of things
like libtool convenience libraries.
Try to simplify the dependency chain so as many files may be compiled
at once as possible.
