Richard Magill) Newsgroups: gnu.utils.bug Subject: recursive -j in make 3.44 Message-ID: Date: 1 Apr 89 20:41:15 GMT Sender: rich@oxtrap.UUCP Reply-To: rich@oxtrap.UUCP Organization: Ocwen Trading, Inc. - Ann Arbor, MI Lines: 12 make 3.44 seems to translate -j into -j1 on recursion. Not what I wanted or expected. I don't see any way to alter this. -l doesn't seem to be passed at all. Seems to me that with -j or -j -l that the -j should be passed as -j. In the case of -jN, it could be debatable whether I wanted this make -jN or all makes (including recursions) -jN or this make single thread but all children -jN or... In any case, plain old -j or -j -l shouldn't be limitted like this. -- rich.
