System: NetBSD macaran 7.99.30 NetBSD 7.99.30 (MACARAN) #39: Tue Jun 7 15:26:15 EDT 2016 dholland@macaran:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/MACARAN amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
If you want make to build multiple targets, you can pass multiple
targets on the command line:
% make foo bar
but if you need them to happen serially, you're stuck:
% make -j8 foo .WAIT bar
make: make: don't know how to make .WAIT. Stop
(also the error message shouldn't say "make:" twice...)
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Not sure why this doesn't already work; I suppose targets on the
command line pass through different processing from targets on the RHS
of a rule, but there probably isn't any good reason for that.
