[gmx-developers] Re: [gmx-users] Wasting too much time recompiling

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Lee-Ping,

I think this mail is better off on the developers list.
As a side note, please get your wording straight. I assume that with
'launch mdrun' you mean 'compile mdrun' rather than launching it as a
program.
You probably issue "make" in the top-level directory, which goes
through the whole dependency tree. Since bondfree.c is part of the
mdrun library (libmd.la), which is amongst the dependencies of all the
tools, all the tools are updated too. If you only want to recompile
mdrun, goto the directory src/kernel, or use 'make mdrun', rather than
'make'. This will avoid recompilation of the tools (and the rest of
the programs).

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
