So: it would probably work. Most of the time. Just try to avoid building really-large-projects-with-ridiculous-build-systems... Or be prepared to re-run your build. :( (This is all actually hearsay - I tend to avoid building with -j to get easier to read logs - so I can't tell you anything about how true they are.) -- Mook ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
