It may not be quite that simple, when it gets to splitting apart the make rules to build things in parallel. I tracked down two problems with parallel builds, and in both cases make was "doing the right thing", given the rules that it was working with. On the other hand, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to writing makefiles for parallel builds. In any case, the suggested change did not solve the problem for me, when doing a make -j5 buildworld. I still get the failure with: make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue//usr/src/sbin/dhclie nt/client/clparse.o. Stop If there's some other way I should run the buildworld to generate a more helpful output, let me know. The failure seems to be 100% reproducible on my machine, at least if I start out by removing all of /usr/obj/usr/src. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Mon Jul 21 2003 - 09:02:31 UTC
