There seems to be a bug in parallel build with GNU Make 3.81beta4 which ships with Ubuntu Dapper: $touch revision.c $make -j 4 fails with LINK test-chmtime gcc: test-chmtime.o: No such file or directory make: *** [test-chmtime] Error 1 Even though test-chmtime depends on test-chmtime.o Work around this by building test-* executables directly from the appropriate .c file.

Looks more like bug in make, to me: test-chmtime.o should have been built by implicit rule, but isn't. > make --version GNU Make 3.81beta4 The following patch helps by building the test directly from .c file: diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 4eb4637..d6b38b5 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -969,8 +969,8 @@ test-date$X: date.o ctype.o test-delta$X: diff-delta.o patch-delta.o -test-%$X: test-%.o $(GITLIBS) - $(QUIET_LINK)$(CC) $(ALL_CFLAGS) -o $@ $(ALL_LDFLAGS) $(filter %.o,$^) $(LIBS) +test-%$X: test-%.c $(GITLIBS) GIT-CFLAGS + $(QUIET_LINK)$(CC) $(ALL_CFLAGS) -o $@ $(ALL_LDFLAGS) $(filter %.c,$^) $(LIBS) check-sha1:: test-sha1$X ./test-sha1.sh -- MST - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
