Thanks a lot for the interesting fix ;-)! It has been merged into the 'master' branch as Commit e398df6e.

The extra compilation of all the programs that you mentioned in the commit message is indeed a problem, but as I have added in the commit message, fortunately in Gnuastro we have a set of '--enable-*' configure-time options to only build a sub-set of the programs (that are necessary during development, when this becomes a problem).

While looking at another bug, I also stumbled upon this issue.

When adding "-lgnuastro" to _LDADD, this is used as a linker flag and just passed to ld. When adding a direct path to libgnuastro.la, like $(top_builddir)/lib/libgnuastro.la, the makefile is able to add a real dependency. Now changes to libgnuastro.la will result in relinking of the binaries in bin/

Unfortunately this requires more CPU cycles as every binary has to be relinked. But as this bug shows, this is the more expected behaviour of the build process.

So I propose the commit at

https://git.alteholz.dev/alteholz/gnuastro/-/commit/f03990eafc362024d7248f3cda8a316ec02ab894

as a fix for this bug.

Any comments?

In any Makefile programs programs depend on libraries under lib/, thus changing them doesn't trigger re-compilation of programs.
