It was still recursing into each directory before and only building the objects inside, right?
The fix for this is to elevate the example binary generation rules up to a higher-level makefile, which we may be able to do without much problem. Ill see about having examples/Makefile.am include bits from each subdirectory but handle the binary generation at that level. Unfortunately parallel make doesn't understand that two subdirectories can be handled simultaneously. -Ben On Dec 5, 2012, at 5:36 PM, "Roy Stogner" <royst...@ices.utexas.edu> wrote: > > I used to do a "make -j 40 all examples && make run_examples" to > compile tests as fast as possible before running them.
