All three of these work for me, so it must be something else in your makefile that you haven't shown us that's causing the problem. Can you provide a SSCCE (http://sscce.org/)? As Bill points out this is a make issue, NOT a cmake issue. I recommend you re-start this thread with all details (operating system, version of make, SSCCE, etc.) on the help-m...@gnu.org mailing list rather than here. I'll offer one possible suggestion, first: you haven't by any chance changed the SHELL variable in your external makefile to use csh, have you? SHELL = /bin/csh (or tcsh either). Because if you have, that's the problem. Csh is a terrible shell for many reasons but in particular it cannot be used as the shell for makefiles, if you want the jobserver feature to work. > core:: > +(cd core; make) > > With this, GNU Make is able to distribute the jobs between the > subdirectories. (I have a number of such targets in my main Makefile.) Bill's comment, that you should use $(MAKE) and never plain "make", is correct. It's better to use $(MAKE) for many reasons, only some of which are handled by prefixing the recipe with "+". -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
