In general, make -j4 -k test_noninteractive >& make_testnoninteractive.out and make -j4 -k test_interactive >& make_testinteractive.out are preferred when they are being done separately since they just build only the necessary unbuilt dependencies. However, to improve the precision of the timing, I agree with you that you could build everything first. But I would do it like this. make -j4 all >& make_all.out then follow with time make -j4 -k test_noninteractive >& make_testnoninteractive.out and time make -j4 -k test_interactive >& make_testinteractive.out Of course, for any of these make invocations, add VERBOSE=1 if you run into into issues. > [...] Tonight I will rolls all of these patches into one patch that can be > applied > to svn/trunk and send it out.
