Hello, when I am developing on an application, I often work in little steps (make a change, build it, test it, make the next change, build this, ...).
First I did this by typing "make && make install" at my build-dir after each change on the app. The make-process takes about 1 second, the install about ten. When i am working in steps where i have do this about one time a minute the time to install is a bit annoying. At the moment, I got rid of the problem by making a symlink (for example apps/plugins/lamp.rock to simdisk/.rockbox/rocks/apps), so that I just have to type make after changing the lamp.c-file. Is there a better way to avoid typing make install each time I want to test a new build? If not, I want to propose creating a make-target like "make links" or so, which works like make install or fullinstall, which does not copy all the files but symlinking where it possible. unfortunately I am not fit enough with the Makefiles to do this for myself, so I hope somebody can do this for me. greetings, Michael
