Some tips: **) if you are editing a header file, this is typically to change the behaviour of one *.cpp file of immediate concern. So compile that *.cpp module first, rather than letting the makefile decide to compile everything that depends on the header first. After your header file edits compile in the context of that one *.cpp module of immediate concern, then compile the rest of the link image. Example: $ cd build-debug/kicad ( I am working on kicad.exe, not pcbnew, eeschema, cvpcb, etc. ) $ make help | grep config ... prjconfig.o ... prjconfig.i ... prjconfig.s This means I can make prjconfig.o explicitly *first*. $ make prjconfig.o When that makes/compiles, it proves my header file edits are good to go for the rest of the link image, so now I only build kicad(exe), since that is what I am working on: $ make kicad -j4 When done, at end of day or for patch preparation, then build the whole project: $ cd .. back up to build-debug $ make -j4 $ bzr diff > /tmp/patch ========================== **) This discussion would not be complete without mentioning the obvious fact that a faster computer does build the system faster. This is actually the most important fact to consider and tackle. There are handicaps in golf. I know of no sporting reason to have them in software development. And the cost of the computer is typically one of those famous self regulating problems: The guy at the keyboard's time will tend to be valued according to its actual value in the marketplace.
