Topic: rebuilding platform on each run

Hi all, long-time lurker here, trying to do AoC in roc!
Each time I do roc run myApp.roc I'm seeing 🔨 Rebuilding platform....
Is it expected to need to rebuild the platform each run even if I haven't changed any platform code, just my app code?

To run roc, I followed the mac x86-64 instructions and downloaded a nightly binary and just running like ./roc run myApp.roc.

Not a big deal, just curious if there's something for me to learn here. Thanks in advanced

Hi @Logan Lowder, this rebuilding is no longer necessary with code from the main branch.
The macos x86_64 releases are lagging behind the others due to unresolved test failures. I'm hoping to resolve that next week.

Awesome! Thanks for the response

You can add --prebuilt-platform=true and that should force skipping it.
