Hi All, First post here, if I should not post here tell me gently :)
I am new to gmake (coming from the old unix world) and gmake is really conveniant to work with. I am not too fluent though, so may be my enhancement suggestion are already adressed but didn't find the answer. I'd like 2 things. 1) I'd like that -jN do leave some foot print in the environment, OR better set a gmake internal variable (predefined name) with the number that as given. I do a lot of parallel make, with submake located on remote nodes, and I'd like to forward what I got on the outter make invocation. So far the workaround this lack of feature is to enforce the usage of a make var, i.e I enforce J=N in the runstring of the outter make invocation, if J= is not given then make fail saying "use J=N instead of -jN" This is ok, but using -jN is more common, so getting the -jN in a variable would be nice to have. $(MAKE_NJOBS) 2) I'd like o suppress the enter/leaving message. make: Entering directory '...' make: Leaving directory '...' Within the makefile, i.e though the user simply typed 'make' with no suppress option, if want myself remove the enter/leaving message as I do it myself addting the pid as a header i.e I printout things like 22335: Enter /... 22335: Exit /... Since I prefix all my make rules @echo with the make pid this is conveniant. A way to implement this could be that make defines 2 predef variables MAKE_ENTER_MSG_HDR and MAKE_LEAVE_MSG_HDR with their default values MAKE_ENTER_MSG_HDR:='make: Entering directory' MAKE_LEAVE_MSG_HDR:='make: Leaving directory' Then the user (me) could redefine this MAKE_ENTER_MSG_HDR:="$(MAKEPID): Enter" etc.... Thanx in advance Cheers, Phi _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
