Maybe I did :-)
This message appear when you do: make -C some/dir When using recursive make files you almost always uses 'make -C ...' so the original writer get the impression this is something printed only for make invoked from within make. What it tells is that make enter directory 'xxx' and uses normal rule-set to find a Makefile. Pretty clear when know the make machinery. And too many programs are dependent on this message for it to just change wording a bit. > > dj> In fact, if one did > dj> bla: > dj> make a& make b& > dj> then they would both be [1], > > Yes, because both of them are direct submakes of the top-level make. > > If you want to get up to two you have to have a sub-submake (the top > level make invokes a make which invokes another make). > > dj> so maybe even mention PID's. > > I don't see what PIDs have to do with anything. To be able to distingush between two different make instances? It's anyway insane^Wunsafe to have two make's running in parallel in same dir.
