Hi, One of my Makefiles contains MAKEFLAGS += -j Prior to the above commit, this would cause make to run as if I had run make -j
Since that commit, it appears to be ignored. If I run
make -j
explicitly I get parallel makes, but setting MAKEFLAGS in the Makefile
doesn't achieve that result.
This usage is still described as supported by make.texi:
The @code{MAKEFLAGS} variable can also be useful if you want to have
certain options, such as @samp{-k} (@pxref{Options Summary, ,Summary of
Options}), set each time you run @code{make}. You simply put a value for
@code{MAKEFLAGS} in your environment. You can also set @code{MAKEFLAGS} in
a makefile, to specify additional flags that should also be in effect for
that makefile. (Note that you cannot use @code{MFLAGS} this way. That
variable is set only for compatibility; @code{make} does not interpret a
value you set for it in any way.)
Thanks,
NeilBrown
