Sorry, I looked at your transcript, and I cannot make heads or tails out of it. Can you explain how do you see that ``jobs are run asynchronously in the background after an error'', and then show in the transcript the evidence of this asynchronous operation? Is it possible that some or all of your rules' commands use the same technique as I commented on in another message: i.e. that they issue multiple commands as a single shell command line? Could this explain what you see? > If someone wants my big, hairy set of Makefiles, they are welcome to > it...but they are sizable.

Please show at least the parts that generate the commands you show in the transcript. They seem all to come from a single rule, perhaps a pattern rule or some such. It's impossible to debug this without seeing at least that much. > Finally the make job stopped on another error. :) But I didn't see any other errors, this one was the first! _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
