[PATCH] docs: Use make invocation's -j argument for parallelism

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this
effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which
may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available
parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any
special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things
work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level:

	make -j16 htmldocs
