questions on ./configure


Hello,

Everyone knows that running ./configure when starting to build a software may take some time. Does anyone know how to re-run ./configure such that it skips the part that has been tested before?

For example, the following configure output is taken from trying to configure coreutils for cygwin. I believe the following checks could be skipped, right? If so, how is it done?

administrator@garden /tmp/coreutils-5.3.0
$ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for desired default level of POSIX conformance... none-specified
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe
<snipped>
.
.
.
<continued>
checking for sys/types.h... yes
checking for sys/stat.h... yes
checking for stdlib.h... yes
checking for string.h... yes
checking for memory.h... yes
checking for strings.h... yes
checking for inttypes.h... yes
checking for stdint.h... yes



Thanks!


Best Regards,

Carlo
