4 Hi,
5
6 kde currently compiles with --enable-final, which puts all source code
7 in one big file and then compile this big file.
8
9 This has the advantage, that, if you have a lot memory, compiling is faster
10 (not really much, maybe 2-5%).
11
12 The disadvantage is that you may have some strange bugs which can't be easily
13 traced down.
14
15 We came to the conclusion that it will be better to disable this by default,
16 because we don't see any real advantage of having this enabled by default.
17
18 Maybe we have overlooked anything, or there are lots of users which want to
19 have this enabled by default. There will be always the option to enable this
20 configure flag, export myconf="${myconf} --enable-final" will do the trick.
21
22 If there aren't any major objections we will remove this flag.
23
24 Best Regards,
25
