How to compile only 1 example?

[jugal-sheth]

Thank you for providing nice useful examples while working on it I wanted to have some modification but after every change I have to recompile whole lib which is very time consuming I am new to c++ so cant write foolproof code in 1 go can someone please suggest quicker way of doing this

i tried options from make but it was compiling one example as intended but it always rebuild whole ggml-cuda too

Thank you for your time

Apologies if this is irrelevant

You can specify a target to build and then only that target will be built. To see the available targets you can run:

$ cmake --build build --target help
The following are some of the valid targets for this Makefile:
... all (the default if no target is provided)
... clean
... depend
... edit_cache
... install
... install/local
... install/strip
... list_install_components
... rebuild_cache
... test
... Continuous
... ContinuousBuild
... ContinuousConfigure
... ContinuousCoverage
... ContinuousMemCheck
... ContinuousStart
... ContinuousSubmit
... ContinuousTest
... ContinuousUpdate
... Experimental
... ExperimentalBuild
... ExperimentalConfigure
... ExperimentalCoverage
... ExperimentalMemCheck
... ExperimentalStart
... ExperimentalSubmit
... ExperimentalTest
... ExperimentalUpdate
... Nightly
... NightlyBuild
... NightlyConfigure
... NightlyCoverage
... NightlyMemCheck
... NightlyMemoryCheck
... NightlyStart
... NightlySubmit
... NightlyTest
... NightlyUpdate
... bench
... common
... ggml
... ggml-base
... ggml-cpu
... main
... quantize
... test-vad
... test-vad-full
... whisper
... whisper-bench
... whisper-cli
... whisper-server

The available targets depends on what options you have configured for CMake.

Then you can run a single target using:

$ cmake --build build --target whisper-cli
