Subject: make -jn does not work
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTik9hxxjC6ZG04mnJ5ySTsIKuoAt_6qjkr0Qa0-H@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

the documentation states to use `make' to build the software, but
first I didn't take it literally. When I type make, my fingers
automatically instead write `nice make -j4' because I'm used to.

I just wonder if make -jn shouldn't work.
With GNU Make, .NOTPARALLEL could be used (in this case, make -j4
wouldn't speed up, but also wouldn't fail), or even better,
maybe missing dependencies information could be added to make it
known to `make' which things have to be done sequentially.

Is non-working -jn considered a bug/limitation and worth a bug
report or is this not supported and thus not worth one?

oki,

Steffen
