Since trunk works with fpmake (and not with fpcmake), there is no reason to invest in fpcmake. fpmake already implements this, though currently it only works for packages/ But the slowliness is not just these tools. Just compiling an unit (that uses a bunch of other units) in one compiler run is the said magnitudes slower. Without make (and thus no tools) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
