But I have another problem with SUBDIRS. As I mentioned in the previous thread, specifying -j starts building of l1 and src1 in parallel. l1 lasts longer, and src1 fails due to missing l1. So I think I really need dependencies rather than sequence. What do you think?Which `make' does that? I can't seem to get GNU make to do so. (If it's GNU make, the quick'n'dirty solution would be to add .NOTPARALLEL: to the toplevel Makefile.am. But that helps only for GNU make.)
Note that he said `-j', not `-j 2', or `-j 8'. Without an argument -j is something close to infinite parallelism so it should indeed start considering the next directory as well. If I use -j without an argument, the GraphicsMagick build blows up. Under Darwin, it seems that the blowup could be due to inability to fork.
