There was a long discussion about this at the ESC :-) and I disagree with the decision, am still suffering slower builds from it on all my machines, but don't much feel like re-opening it personally. We currently have an improved / patched version of gnumake here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools/ Which has the speedup patch, and Norbert's nice debugging code etc. unfortunately it is extremely non-trivial to get that to automatically work as part of the build. Personally, I'd be thrilled to have a '--with-internal-gmake' configure option that would download, build, locally install and setup the paths to use an internal, faster gnumake - so I could just add it to my autogen.lastrun's -and- IIRC that'd be ok by what we decided last on the topic too. Volunteers for that appreciated :-) ATB, Michael. -- michael.me...@suse.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
