I find that 'make clean' is annoyingly slow. For my package 'make
clean' takes more than 1/10 of the optimized build time even though I
am using a very fast disk subsystem. For the clean target, Automake
produces many chunks which are of the form:
clean-codersLTLIBRARIES:
-test -z "$(coders_LTLIBRARIES)" || rm -f $(coders_LTLIBRARIES)
@list='$(coders_LTLIBRARIES)'; for p in $$list; do \
dir="`echo $$p | sed -e 's|/[^/]*$$||'`"; \
test "$$dir" != "$$p" || dir=.; \
echo "rm -f \"$${dir}/so_locations\""; \
rm -f "$${dir}/so_locations"; \
done
or
clean-binPROGRAMS:
@list='$(bin_PROGRAMS)'; test -n "$$list" || exit 0; \
echo " rm -f" $$list; \
rm -f $$list || exit $$?; \
test -n "$(EXEEXT)" || exit 0; \
list=`for p in $$list; do echo "$$p"; done | sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'`; \
echo " rm -f" $$list; \
rm -f $$list
Is there a way to make this quite a lot faster?
Thanks,
Bob
