Hello

I’m currently developing a new module and it’s frustrating having to  
recompile every module each time. How can I skip all modules but my new  
one  
and then link the pre-existing object files?

Does anyone have any other tips to streamline the module development /  
testing cycle?

Thanks  
Arran

A little bit more experimenting and I discovered that skipping the  
configuration step and just running make && make install again will  
achieve  
what I wanted.
