Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, When I make a change to one kernel file - uipc_socket.c and do a "make", (or make depend followed by make), all the files in the kernel seem to be recompiled again. It takes about one hour on my 486 DX to build the new kernel. Is there an established way to speed up things so that only the one file will be recompiled and the rest just linked into the new kernel? It would save me a lot of time! Thanks, Guru PS: Please reply to me direct as I am not on the FreeBSD Questions list yet.
