Many thanks to all of you, I'm trying them out. So the point is to never clean the code tree, nor cleaning those compiled objects. However I think re-configuring is not always needed, which results in lots of rebuilding. So It's better to decide myself when it's needed? Philipp Überbacher <hollunder@lavabit.com> writes:

Hi, I build Emacs from git quite frequently, about twice a month or so. However the PKGBUILD from AUR rebuilds everything each time, which takes too many time I think. Perhaps Emacs is small, but I think there should be a way to prevent too many rebuilds --- is that possible?
1. Don't use -c (clean)
I already did it.
2. Comment line 47 and 48 (PKGBUILD-git.proto), uncomment if you want a clean build.
Well, this is my PKGBUILD-git.proto: 43 # 44 # BUILD HERE 45 # 46 ./autogen.sh 47 ./configure --prefix=/usr 48 make Do you mean commenting 46 & 47? -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591
