Thanks to a patch supplied by Tristan Carel there is a fixed version of UseSWIG.cmake that I have (temporarily until this fix gets into an official CMake version) made part of our PLplot build system. This version of UseSWIG.cmake and the build system changes to use this modified module are available as of revison 8091. This fix corrects the unnecessary swig rebuilds that we had before.
Here is the time result I am obtaining now for a re-invocation of make with no changes made. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> time make >& make.out1 real 0m1.647s user 0m0.824s sys 0m0.836s This latency is substantially less than we had before (since the swig modules were being rebuilt each time we invoked make for revisions less than 8091). Also, by looking through make.out1, I can find no invocation of gcc or swig so it appears the last time-consuming rebuild steps have been eliminated by this fix. A latency of less than 2 seconds is actually pretty amazing when you consider all the make machinery that swings into action to check that there have been no changes. Note, in the present case there was a lot of such checking to do since I originally invoked cmake with essentially all parts of PLplot (including the examples build required by ctest) enabled.
