When gmake 3.59 must update multiple archive members it does the
following sequence of commands:
given an archive list (lib(a.o) lib(b.o) lib(c.o) etc..)
for each member of archive
does member need to ne updated?
yes -> compile source file and 'ar' the new member
endfor
This can be VERY slow, especially on ALOT of files and an overloaded
network. There MUST be some way to get gmake to get it to do the
following:
given an archive list (lib(a.o) lib(b.o) lib(c.o) etc..)
for each member of archive list
does member need to be updated?
yes -> add to list to be updated
endfor
compile all new source files
ar all new members in ONE ar command
This would save alot of compile time!!
Is there a way to do this presently? I can't see it..
No gmake does not understand lib(a.o b.o c.o)
