I'm not sure what you mean by "task" here. Make has a concept of a "job", as you can see by searching around the help documentation. I think each job will be executing one command script for a particular rule at any given time, and the command script itself is executed serially. The parallelization comes in when you have multiple jobs, so multiple command scripts can be executed simultaneously. > > We are working with many opensource packages, it's really a > challenge to verify and update all makefiles, it seems such issues are > very general. I agree that it is a challenge, and a very general problem. -Mike _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
