Hi Praveen,

Please, can you elaborate on this?. What do do mean by “building as shared
objects”.

Thanks,

John

Incremental builds take an incredible amount of time stuck in running Tablegen
scripts for all targets. Now this happens both in Release and Debug
configurations. Just before this, at least Release compiled fine, but that’s no
longer the case.

incremental ‘Release’ builds only take a few seconds.
