| Summary | 0004870: Ocamlbuild is too slow when using the "include" tag on many directories |
| Description | when there are lots of directories in your project, using "include" as an easy way to compile (given you don't have clashes between module names) leads to a very long time just to check what should be done: we got to more than 20 seconds in case there is nothing to do. |
| Additional Information | It seems that every rule is duplicated for every possible directory, which may be at the root of the problem.
We could circumvent it by having a cleaner hierarchy: never use the tag "include", but build and link libraries instead, and use Pathname.define_context by hand for directories that need to work together.
Also, we had to add:
dep ["use_"^lib; "byte"] [lib^".cma"];
dep ["use_"^lib; "native"] [lib^".cmxa"];
for the internal libraries to be built correctly. |
