util organization about candybar HOT 4 CLOSED

nah its going to be a mess if you need to do #include "util/macros.h" in every file you need macros just define them in the .h of the file you need the macro (as i think it is now).
The defines too we already have a long compile time if we add every lib we need in every .c file we have the compilation time will increase exponentially.

Allright, I'll leave it as it is now then.

Regarding compile time, would it be possible to not include every lib when compiling every C file, I've noticed the compile time starting to get a bit out of hand as I've been adding widgets. It would be nice not having to include libmpdclient in 20 C files that don't actually use libmpdclient. I'm guessing it's possible with autotools, what I'm really asking is if you know whether it's a lot of work implementing and maintaining such a change.

i think that if you only put the header of libmpd in one file it wont make much difference. i think the time we are seeing is the time the pre-processor cpp takes to copy the header files, not really compiling

Roger that, I'll leave things as they are.
