Well, I don't know how your remote execution design works. However, .ONESHELL tells make to invoke the entire recipe in a single shell invocation so I assume that will cause them all to be invoked on a single remote host, yes. See: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/One-Shell.html Note, though, that this can break recipes if they are written in such a way that they expect each line to be invoked in a separate shell. For one simple example: foo: cd foo && echo in foo cd bar && echo in bar will work very differently with and without .ONESHELL. More discussion is in the manual, above. If your makefiles have these assumptions built into their recipes, and you can't change them, you may not be able to take advantage of this. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
