[...] In my recent testing, "make -j" without a numeric argument (which tells make to run as many parallel steps as possible) caused my system to bog down badly. This was on a fairly large project (I used vim); it might not be as much of a problem with a smaller project. I've found that "make -j $(nproc)" is safer. The "nproc" command is likely to be available on any system that has a "make" command. It occurs to me that "make -j N" can fail if the Makefile does not correctly reflect all the dependencies. I suspect this is less likely to be a problem if the Makefile is generated rather than hand-written. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
