Saving time during recompilation

[ramprasad85]

Hi
i am trying to modify x264 and build VLC using that
my configure-vlc.sh file is as follows

./configure -C \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/ramprasad/x264 \
CC="ccache gcc" CXX="ccache g++" \
--disable-gtk \
--disable-avcodec --disable-avformat --disable-swscale \
--disable-faad --disable-flac --disable-theora \
--disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --disable-goom \
--disable-twolame --disable-dvdread \
--enable-debug --disable-dca \
--disable-mkv --disable-taglib \
--disable-mad --disable-live555 \
--disable-postproc \
--enable-x264 --with-x264-tree=/home/ramprasad/x264

I have no problems in configuring and building,
but whenever i make a change in x264, i am doing the following in vlc directory
make clean
./configure-vlc.sh
make
the whole process takes atleast 15 mins

if i just run make, it doesnot reflect the modifications

i believe only linking is required rather than compiling the whole VLC source
please tell what i need to do, so that i can use the modified x264 with little effort.

Thank you

Sorry, but if you do "make", it will recompile only what you modified in vlc trunk. If you modify x264 object, then just run "make clean; make" in modules/codec/
