Lately I have noticed that when I come back to Inkscape on another day, modify a single cpp (today's was drawing-text.cpp) and "make" it starts rebuilding all sorts of things that would seem to be utterly unrelated. In fact, the build is so extensive it may well be a complete rebuild. Here is just a fraction of the things it compiled:
... CXX sp-mesh-gradient.o CXX sp-mesh-patch.o CXX sp-mesh-row.o CXX sp-object.o CXX sp-path.o CXX sp-pattern.o CXX sp-rect.o CXX sp-shape.o CXX sp-stop.o CXX sp-style-elem.o CXX sp-text.o CXX sp-tref.o CXX sp-tspan.o CXX sp-use.o CXX style.o ...
If the same file is later modified again, "make" the next time does the expected thing and just compiles that one file and then links everything.
Any idea why it is doing that? It almost seems like the Make files now have some concept of "old" object files and anything over a day old gets rebuilt.
