I experienced the same when I generated database dumps with "make -p". (For those who read it a few days ago, this was when I developed the little Perl add-on visualising dependency graphs.)
My workaround was to explicitly use "-j1", but this is not very satisfactory. I would also be interested in a solution. Per Jessen: > I use "make -jN" quite a lot for parallelizing many jobs (all kinds, not > just compile jobs). The output is obviously jumbled, and it's not > really very useful as such. I don't mind that - I usually finish off > such a parallel run with a single job that logs the status of the rest. > However, when I run such a parallel make via cron, the output is not > just jumbled, it's garbled. Lines are overwritten, lines are mixed, > lines are missing, in particular my final status output. Has anyone > else experienced this and what have you done about it (if anything) ? _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
