Makefile Ramblings

Performance & Bottlenecks

Problems

• bug 623617 Non-recursive builds Makefilegen
• Dependency builds - Make run twice in a sandbox should be a nop.
• Needless work: *clean targets are performing build related work
  • autoconf, configure, isinstall, etc are a few tasks currently being triggered
• windows -vs- horrible overhead per shell spawned
  • Replace double-colon rules with dependency chains to avoid shell overhead.

Resources

• GNU Make Manual
• Build System
• Makefiles: Macros, Targets, Practices

Bugs

• bug 623617 Decursify builds
