In regards to Paul's earlier questions about the version and distribution of my make, it is a Cygwin version of make running on Windows XP. Specifically, if I access my make's help it says "Program built for i686-pc-cygwin". The version of make is GNU Make 3.80.

It probably just means that the OP is using the Cygwin port of Make. Which, of course, doesn't explain this: > * If the code is compiled in, it's only invoked if there is a > jobserver pipe, and there is only a jobserver pipe if one of two > things is true: a -jN was passed where N>1 was passed to make on > the compile line, or the option --jobserver-fds (which is an > internal option passed by make to its submakes and should never > be given to make externally) was passed to make. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
