This concerns an external project, where one OneLibrary.c and SomeLibraries.am where modified;

It would be nice to ./configure --please-configure-only-this-subdirectory=./SomeLibrariesSubdirectory

something similar to make -C ./SomeLibrariesSubdirectory

Because the whole "./configure" takes 5 minutes when only two lines have been modified ;)

    Why re-configure anything if all you've done is modify one file? Just run make again. It should only compile what is necessary. – William Pursell Feb 08 '13 at 18:23

    What @WilliamPursell said. Even if you do modify an automakefile or `configure.ac` that would require reconfiguration, automake writes rules (which work mostly correctly) to run the reconfiguration which `make` will run. Only once in a great while I will have to manually invoke `configure`. – ldav1s Feb 08 '13 at 18:40
  • @ldav1s (and WilliamPursell) hm, this appears to work as you say, many thanks! – Lofty Lion Feb 08 '13 at 18:54
