No problem; thanks for the quick response. > What's the best way around it, while preserving the performance of a > parallel build? Declaring .NOTPARALLEL: in debian/rules should cause make to run serially when working off of it but still pass -j to upstream's makefiles. Also, make supports order-only prerequisites (a relatively new feature, but available even in stable); if you declare build-indep-stamp: | build-arch-stamp it will take care to complete build-arch-stamp before starting on build-indep-stamp when building both but still allow building just build-indep-stamp. > Ah, just hit on a solution: I'll have the documentation build in a > separate directory.
