[Raypp-general] Makefile

[Tim M. <ti...@se...>]

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't contributed much recently, I've been having fun trying to get 
my wireless network card to work in linux. :-)

One thing that's been bothering me with the raypp build system as it is is the 
way the Makefile works. Since we're building as one big translation unit, 
every single change to the code means a long compile. I was wondering why we 
chose to do it this way?

I've frobbed the Makefile a bit and got a working system which compiles each 
unit separately then archives them all into a single libraypp.a, which makes 
subsequent linkage just as easy, but gets round the issue of rebuilding 
everything each time a change is made.

Does anyone object to me submitting this? Is there some problem with this 
approach that I'm missing?

Tim
