I presume you mean that you typed "gmake -j".

The "make" command will execute whatever commands are specified in the default Makefile. Those commands will have whatever effect they would have if you typed them at a shell prompt. Without knowing what's in your Makefile, it's impossible to know what your "gmake -j" command has done. There's a convention for Makefiles to have a "clean" target which will remove any generated files. It's possible that typing "gmake clean" will undo whatever damage you've done. I accept no responsibility for any consequences, which again are entirely dependent on the contents of the Makefile. (The default makefile may or may not be called "Makefile".
