Re: GMAKE 3.81 vs GMAKE 4.2

[nikhil jain]

Hi Guys,

I have been using gmake from a long time.
I wanted to know 2 things -

1) How do I know if the compilation is incremental or full ? I mean is
there a way in make to know that the compile is incremental ? Any variable
which is set ? any ENV variable ?
2) How do I know the status of the make in main function ? How to know if
the build passed or failed ?

This is extremely urgent. Please help.
