#1295 [PATCH] Fix support for parallel jobs on Windows

[Carlo Bramini]

When using make -j on CYGWIN and MSYS, I'm getting this error:

*** No rule to make target «auto_revision», needed by «all-local». Stop.

But it works fine if I run make without the -j option.
The cause of this problem is described here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/EXEEXT.html

On Windows, automake transparently appends $(EXEEXT) to the binary targets, so when you prepare all-local you must use auto_revision$(EXEEXT) because auto_revision actually doesn't exist.
Attached patch fixes the issue.

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.

The patch.

I really don't know, but it looks like you want to build C::B under CYGWIN?

Under Windows and inside C::B, you want to run the make command?

Yes, I'm using bash shell from CYGWIN when building.
However, it happens also when you try to build Code::Block under linux with MinGW-w64 cross compiler, same identical issue. The $(EXEEXT) is expected to be used by design in this case, as it is explained into the automake man page linked above.

Under Windows and inside C::B, you want to run the make command?

I have not understood this sentence, sorry.

Any progress?

It is still not fixed.
