Yes, sorry, I do use Cygwin, On windows xp the parallel does work and shaves 45 min off a 2:20 hr build Though with files that get generated (linked or assembled) there is a chance that the operation can be interrupted by another command in the commands portion and only half the file gets generated, or if the files are generated to close to the end of the build that's when I do believe the waits occur. wait: No children. Stop. Waiting for unfinished jobs wait: No children. Stop by moving them further away from the end of the build I think I may have solved it, perhaps the newer versions track this better. Thanks again for the suggestions :)

I'd suggest the poster consider that option. That's a good idea if it's worked for you. However, note that we don't support the Cygwin version of GNU make here, as it's been modified by the Cygwin folks. You should ask for help on the Cygwin lists if you have issues with that version of GNU make. Cheers! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Paul D.
