Edit Question
Title
Body
My first question (yay!) is about gnumake and parallel builds. Here's a quick example file: .PHONY: tool_1 tool_2 tool_3 tool_4 all tools all: | tools tools: | tool_2 tool_3 tool_4 tool_1: # commands for tool 1 tool_2: | tool_1 # commands for tool 2 tool_3: | tool_1 # commands for tool 3 tool_4: | tool_1 # commands for tool 4 If I do make -j on this guy, is what I have here correct to ensure that the commands for tool_1 are executed exactly once, and before make tries to build any of tool_[234] ? What I'm looking for is to have make -j cause tool_1 to be built first, then tool_[234] to be built in parallel, but without executing the commands for tool_1 three times. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!
