It would be nice to have a way to reset this in a sub-make (i.e. to make it start its own group of makes). PK>Included is also a patch I've been using to make the SUBDIR targets PK>go parallel. Ruslan will have to fix all the mistakes I've made PK>in that one before it gets committed. I have some reservations about this. I have makefiles that have carefull crafted orders of the SUBDIR variable in order to have dependencies right like: SUBDIR= lib1 lib2 prog1 prog2 man That will break by automatically making all subdir targets parallel. Even if we can fix this in our tree, we should not assume that nobody else is using our make. Otherwise your patch is very nice. I was just talking with the smake author about this three days ago. hartiReceived on Fri Nov 12 2004 - 08:28:22 UTC
