A complete *rebuild* of Inkscape in 10 seconds using one computer only? What are the specs of that machine?
That isn't what he said. Change a space in some source file and rebuild and the work which must be done is:
recompile module rebuild library relink executable
cmake does that, eventually, but along the way it scans through a lot of other stuff which is why it takes so long. AP's point is that btool was much more efficient about it, not wasting time getting this job done, so when working on one module it was quick to rebuild, but with cmake, it isn't.
On a similar note, I still can't get cmake to build Inkscape on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32 bit, and have to manually enter a different link command (changing cms library linkage) every time.
From where I sit, in terms of performance and functionality, cmake was a large step backwards from what we had previously on both Windows and Linux.
