Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v9 8/8] Makefile: update comment about top-level parallel Makefile
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:40:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384526422-30142-9-git-send-email-fabio.porcedda@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1384526422-30142-1-git-send-email-fabio.porcedda@gmail.com>
After the latest patches top-level parallel Makefile is working but
there are still issues when the building order is changed so change
the comment to explain that.

-# This top-level Makefile can *not* be executed in parallel
+# The parallel execution of this top-level Makefile is disabled
+# because it would change the package building order, that can be a
+# problem because some packages can have unspecified optional
+# dependencies so if those dependencies are present when the package
+# is built, they are used, otherwise they aren't (but compilation
+# happily proceeds). This means that the package order is relevant in
+# that case, and the end result will differ if the order is swapped
+# due to parallel building.
+# Taking in account the above warnings, if you still want to execute
