GNU make, as with all GNUÂ tools (and with all well-formed POSIX commands) accepts the "--" option to mean "everything after this is not an option even if it looks like one". So, the simplest solution is to use: seq 1000 | xargs -n1000 make j -- I don't really understand why you use the pipe to xargs. Wouldn't it be simpler to just say: make -j -- $(seq 1000) ? _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
