[Inkscape-devel] Speed up the build?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if I already asked this some time ago (if so, please bear with me). Compiling and linking always takes a considerable amount of time and I regularly run into the need to test the effect of several small changes in quick succession. Is there a way to speed up compiling in any way, for example by deactivating certain things which have nothing to do with the code I'm interested in? Any options for ./configure (I already use --without-inkjar), any compile switches, #ifdefs I'm not aware of, anything?

Thanks, Max

P.S.: I do use ccache but I still hope that the building (in particular, the linking) time can be reduced by other means, too.
