Re: nt make

[Chad Loder]

I have been using GNU make's parallel features on
Windows 2000 under cygwin (GNU make version 3.79.1
and earlier) with no problems for over a year.

One note, if you write your makefiles in a procedural
manner (just a series of steps) rather than making
appropriate use of make's dependency features, your
build will not parallelize.

I do "make -j2" just like you said.
