It depends what you are working on. For example I was working on TextSearch and 
libbe.so. So I made a "lib" subfolder in the generated folder for TextSearch 
and symlinked libbe.so from somewhere else in the generated folder there. When 
I change something anywhere that affects libbe.so and/or TextSearch, both will 
be rebuilt and when I launch TextSearch from somewhere in the generated 
subfolder, it will use the updated libbe.so. This was fairly painless so far 
and worked without any flaws.

What did you intend on working on? Can you apply the same technique?

Best regards,
-Stephan
