Christian Heimes added the comment: The lines under each of my examples are the content of $MAKEFLAGS. It works when I pass the option in a different order and even with alternative spellings for -s like --quiet. It's always the "s" flag:
$ make -s --jobs=4 "s --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j" $ make --jobs=4 --silent "s --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j" $ make --jobs=4 --quiet "s --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j" $ make --jobs=4 --quiet -n echo '"sn --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j"' With just the -j flag $MAKEFLAGS starts with a space so the first word is empty: $ make -j4 " --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j" I don't know if other make implementations work similar but I think we require GNU Make, too. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
