  • Compile directories

    From Angus Mcleod@ANJO to Digital Man on Saturday, January 15, 2005 22:25:00
    Just to confirm something: When I run 'gmake', it creates four
    directories:

    gcc.linux.exe.debug
    gcc.linux.lib.debug
    gcc.linux.obj.debug
    gcc.linux.obj.debug-mt

    The last two are not required on a production system. As I understand,
    they contain the individual object files (and dependancies) and aren't
    needed. Is this correct?

    I understand that their removal would force 'make' to recompile everything from scratch for every minor update. I'm not planning to remove them or anything.

    That's the idea anyway. :-)
