Ralf asked me to send a small blurb, during FSCONS 2011 there was discussion about how to make ./configure run a faster when hacking. The simple solution is to generate a config.cache that one uses, and reuses; so in the end I wrote autocache which simply runs as many autoconf/automake/gnulib checks as possible and generates a config.cache file that a user can install somewhere. The code is avaiable at two places, http://planet.gnu.org/~ams/autocache-0.2.tar.gz and in a git repoistory on fencepost.gnu.org (you'll need to have an account there to get the code but it allows you to push changes to the repo :-): git clone fp.gnu.org:~ams/autocache.git If there is interest in this, I'll ask to make it a GNU project. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
