Is there a build option in Xcode 3.1.1 to just compile sources, but
not attempt linking?
You can compile a single file with the Build > Compile menu item. But
you can't compile all (you can with CodeWarrior, it's called 'Bring up
to Date', I miss it a lot). Linking is horribly slow.
You can select a group or a multiple selection and choose Build >
Compile to compile all the selected files in the context of the active
configuration and target, but not link.
If "linking is horribly slow" for anybody, please provide sampler data
from the linking phase, and if possible the build folder (we don't
need your sources, just the .o files and the linker command line to
reproduce). We've substantially and continually improved the link
speed over the years and are always trying to do better. The current
cases we know about all have to do with a very large executable in a
small-memory (1Gb) machine, so if you have specific cases, please file
a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com with the data that can help us
find out what's slow for you and speed it up.
