Hello, I'm trying to use the "-j" option of GNU's make when building my m68k cross-compiler so that it can create multiple jobs and do more than one thing at a time, hopefully to reduce the build time on my dual-processor machine. Environment: Tekram P6B40D-A5 (Intel 440BX) Intel Celeron 300A@464MHz (x2) 256MB PC100 SDRAM Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (sp6) Cygwin 1.0 (I have not upgraded it yet -- would that help?) GNU Make version 3.77 I enter something like "make -j cross" (after configuring for the proper target). I monitor the utilization of the two CPU's. It gets pretty far without any apparent problems, and I often see that both CPU's are simultaneously above 50% utilization (indicating that my dual-processor setup is at least somewhat helpful). But it eventually freezes. No errors or anything, just frozen. I forget if my whole system is frozen or just the command prompt window. If I remember correctly, when I check the list of processes, I see a bunch of "bash" and/or "sh" programs running. Not sure about this however... I'd have to try again if you want more specific details. I do know that it hangs up however. I tried several times and it did the same thing, although (I believe) in a different place each time. Basically, I just want to know if anyone else has had success/problems trying to do this, and if you can recommend anything. If you want more specifics on what is going on when my build dies, I'd be happy to try again and see. TIA for any help! Chris
