I've not been following this thread too closely, but this may be relevant: http://www.cmcrossroads.com/ask-mr-make/12909-descrambling-parallel-buil d-logs
One aspect to this issue is that the compiler error messages appear 'mis-aligned' against the sources. I've worked around this for one build system I maintain by making it automatically kick off another serial build when a parallel build completes with errors. (This is fairly easy as GNU make gets called from a front-end script that presents a simpler interface to developers.) That way, the end result is a build transcript that clearly shows the errors aligned with the source.

As parallel make are becoming more and more popular, can make serialize the output of parallel make? Make can redirect every parallelly issued shell's output to an temporary file, and output the stored output serially, as if in a serial make. -- Chiheng Xu Wuhan,China _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
