Re: [arch-general] makepkg - any way to recompile only newly patched files in large packages?

If it wasn't clear, I have already built the gtk2 package yesterday to --enable-debug=yes so I have all of the files in a state I could call --repackge on, except for the gtk/gtkrecentchooser.c file with the one line change. I was wondering if there was a way to avoid the full 15 minute rebuild of all of gtk2 and just compile gtkrecentchooserdefault.c to object and then --repackage?

You can use makepkg with the -e (--noextract) option to rebuild from the existing source tree. If the configure step forces a full rebuild, you can comment it out in the PKGBUILD after the initial build. -- Andy
