Re: Linux Builds Complete - Questions

[David Sugar]

At one time, when machine speeds were still measured in mghz, and g++ 
was still rather slow to compile, this was done to save on time waiting 
for the package to build.  After all, nobody building just to install 
wanted to also wait to build the demos and test programs they were not 
using.  To manually cd to demo or test and run Make there seemed 
adaquate for those who wanted to.
