Well its a PITA mostly because we disabled Pmake's -j "job-markers" back in 1998 (r41151). If you build with 'make -v -j>1' you get much more debugable output. bmake (NetBSD's make) is even nicer in this regard. I was *amazed* when I joined $WORK and a '-j16' build was debugable. -- -- David (obr...@freebsd.org) _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
