As you noticed, about one time out of three I seem to type LIMIT instead of LEVEL, and they're visually similar enough that I don't notice even after looking at the file repeatedly. I apparently tested make BR2_JLIMIT=3 instead of make BR2_JLEVEL=3 Sorry for the noise. -- Grant _______________________________________________ buildroot mailing list buildroot@buildroot.org https://lists.buildroot.org/mailman/listinfo/buildroot
