Hi!
As there seems to be a tendency to add dependencies to the Win32 build
process to get each and everything build automatically, the normal build
is getting slower and slower.
Currently I'm building the debug-gtk2 target, which I've once added to
only build the GTK2 version of Wireshark and copy over the corresponding
files to wireshark-gtk2 - for debugging Wireshark.
When I'm currently doing nmake -f Makefile debug-gtk2, I'm getting the
hell of things done that I very certainly don't need for normal debugging:
- UPX packaging
- lib download
- WSDG generation
- ...
... and in addition to this, some steps of the above are *repeatedly* done!
This gives me a pretty, pretty bad "code to build ratio" (10s coding,
10min building) :-(((
Is there really a need to build all that? We should be really careful
adding dependencies like hell, making the normal developing as slow as
it currently is.
Regards, ULFL
P.S: As a consequence, I tend to stop develop pcapng for now, as this is
currently a big waste of time ...
