[CP2K:8099] Developers: fast build, without recompiling dependencies?

[Jörg Saßmannshausen]

Hi Rustam,

can you not go into the sub-directory and do a make there and then just re-
link? I would have thought that is possible. 
If you have modified only a few files it might be even quicker to manually 
execute the building command and then re-link.

Not sure whether that works with cp2k as well as I have not tried it but other 
code certainly has that feature.

All the best from London
