I've been playing with make's -j capability. -Most- of the time this works great, but every now and then certain things just don't compile when I do a -j 2, -but- compile files with a -j 1 or no -j option. Anyone know why this is? What do make constructs cause this to fail? -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 http://www.tcwug.org, Minnesota, Wireless | Coding isn't a crime.
