make
- reduce the number of files copied in the "make install" step by limiting the number of used languages to the minimum necessary. For this, add '-DWANT_GUI_LANG="en_GB;de;fr;it;en"' to your cmake command.
- if you know that only a single object file has been written by "make" (as an example when you're modifying the source of a plugin), if you're on a slow computer you can speed up the compile/run/tweak cycle by manually copying the object file to the binary directory, instead of doing "make install"

traces in the terminal
Whenever you need to understand what happens un the code, it's possible to issue some traces on the terminal using qDebug function :
qDebug() << blah << "some text";
Clean your code before issuing a patch, unless its absolutely necessary to mess the user's terminal.
