When Compiling

[henhouse]

I've been making a bit of edits to some files in MaNGOS and recompiling to then edit again is a waste of 10 minutes. Am I able to compile, then edit something like in Spell.cpp and then recompile only that file? Or do I really have to compile everything over again?

Depends on the build system. GNU make does that automatically, VC has something as well (I just don't know the name).

if you edit only one file in VC and then build, it will recompile only that file and the associated files. Just don't run a rebuild because that runs clean+build.

Yeah I normally would clean and stuff, I started noticing when I would recompile ScriptDev2 without cleaning it would just compile it without doing it all over again. I'll give it a try but I wanted to ask because I did it once but the mangosd.exe didn't say last modified and that time, but the last time I compiled. Hm.

Thanks.

If you know that file dosn't use any other projects too, you can just right click on the game project and select compile too, though it is better just to run build as stated above. Clean really is only needed on big changes or merging a new branch in.
