ny> This is what I understood from: ny> http://make.paulandlesley.org/jobserver.html I don't think that's correct. The jobserver feature talks about parallelizing the builds of targets. If you have a shell command with a shell loop in it, obviously make cannot parallelize that: each pass through the loop will be done sequentially. Jobserver is cool, but it's not THAT cool! :-). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
