Good Morning!
I am writing because I have a problem with make.
The problem is if there exists rules generating some "object"-files from
one "source"-file with rules like:
my_clnt.c my_xdr.c my.h my_svc.c : my.x
rpcgen my.x
When using make -j rpcgen is executed IM PARALELL several times.
This was a minor problem some years ago but is really annoying with java where
it is normal to get more .class from one .java!
I really would be happy to use -j2 since there are 2 CPUs in my workstation
and there are about 400 java-files and 1200 class-files (yes, this number
is 3 times higher!) in my current project!
Are there any workarounds / undocumented options / ... ?
Thanks
