That means it now takes more than 2 hours to compile it from scratch. The machine is not the fastest (only 4 core 3GHz) but even if it was twice as fast it would still compile over and hour. So I am looking for a way to prevent a full rebuild on every project release. There seem to be some features in Ptxdist that should allow this, but I could not really figure out how to use them. What I would like to do is this; 1) Build an OS with all the Xorg, mono, gtk, etc. stuff and version that. 2) build my own applications. 3) combine the results from step 1 and 2 into an image for flashing 4) goto 2 Is it possible to do this with Ptxdist and if so, how ? TIA, Erwin -- ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de
