           Summary: [Qt] Speed up debug builds
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: hausmann at webkit.org


One aspect that makes working with debug builds very annoying is that after touching a file in for example WebKit2, the WebKit2 static library needs to be re-linked and then the final QtWebKit shared library. This can take a long time.

We should introduce a special build mode that will build all the convenience libraries (jsc, wc, wk2) as shared libraries (with all symbols exported), so that touching a file in say WebKit2 results in only one short relinking of the WebKit2 library.
