Game_Ender:
With any hope you shouldn't have to do a full rebuild every time, make is smart enough to work out the dependencies and only rebuild what is needed based on file changes.  I would also stick with make when building codeblocks (if your are working on CB itself its obviously better to use CB to build itself), especially if you aren't doing a full rebuild.  Make is currently the fastest build system and I doubt that codeblocks custom system is any faster.  I will test this though.  Currently when I do a full rebuild I do the following:


--- Code: ---# Gets rid of all created files
make distclean
svn up
# These two are just to make sure I catch any changes to these files
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/home/myusername/Apps/codeblocks-svn
make
make install

--- End code ---

I have never had to "make uninstall", make just overwrites the old files in my home directory.

Thank you for your help and explanations :). I will give it a try.

Best wishes,

If you're going to test it, just make sure to disable all plugins except the Compiler plugin (CodeCompletion esp. is known to make the build slower).

Or test both cases.

I would doubt that, but feel free to test it and share your findings with us :)

Will do, but please see reviews of other build systems here and here.  By presuming that CB build system is slower than make I am not trying to insult codeblocks.  I am just saying that make is currently faster than almost everything else and its a much more mature product and there more likely to be better optimized.
