Message-ID: <20021226161701.GA20462@rootbox> Reply-To: Jonah Sherman Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could explain why buildworld must rebuild _everything_, even if there is one small change(or no changes). For example, if I do the initial buildworld, then cvsup and see that code for /bin/ls has changed, then buildworld again, it recompiles everything. Shouldn't buildworld only recompile /bin/ls? Even if *nothing* changes, and I were to just run make buildworld two times consecutively, it still recompiles everything. Could someone explain why this is the behavior instead of just compiling what has changed?
