Hi all,
we tried the -j option of make for the first time to speed up builds of
GNUstep projects on multiprocess machines. We are trying this on a
T2000 with 6/24 cores. I get the following error:
-bash-3.00$ make -j 24

Obviously multiple threads/processes try to create the target dir at
the same time which leads to the error. This renders the j option
useless for us. Is this an issue in gnu make or in the GNUstep make
package? Can this be fixed somehow or do we have to live with
serialized (slow) builds?
Thanks,
Andreas
