Make compile more modular [feature request] #53

Closed mxa closed 3 years ago

mxa commented 3 years ago

Now that the Prototype module supports so many languages, compiling has become quite a long process. It's unpractical for testing to delete the dep folder and compile everything again. How about skipping a module if the subfolder in deb already exists? So for example if i'm working on the libpd plugin i just delete this subfolder and when running make dep it will assume that the plugins where the folders already exist were successfully build and it will just build the libpd plugin?

I think the build system is already pretty modular. For example if FAUST is set to 1, the Makefile checks if dep/lib/libfaust.a exists. If not, it builds it. If you want to disable it, set FAUST to 0. If you want to rebuild Faust, remove dep/lib/libfaust.a and perhaps dep/faust to start from scratch.

OK, I think I've overlooked these options in the makefile itself.
