Message-ID: Date: 23 Nov 90 03:21:53 GMT Sender: news@ai.mit.edu Reply-To: sbchanin@ai.mit.edu Organization: MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab Lines: 22 I've just started playing with the Think C class libraries and it seems like a waste to add all the Cxxx.c files to a project because 1) the project gets huge, and 2) it takes forever to compile. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a project with all the Cxxx.c files, compile it, and save it. Then anything else I wrote could simply add it like MacTraps and the linker would make sure that my application only got the code it needed. Is there a complication that I'm missing? Thanks, Steve P.S. - I understand that loading a library the size of one containing all the Cxxx.c files would take a while, but I'm sure that it would be faster than recompling everything all the time. And since you could then feasible remove objects before saving, projects would be much smaller. -- =============================================================================== DOMAIN: sbchanin@ai.mit.edu USMAIL: Steven Chanin, 1010 Mass Ave #57, Cambridge, Ma 02138 PHONE : (617) 876-1950
