There are techniques you can use within make to ensure completion of one set of operations before the next set begins. I've written up a blog post with a little more detail here: http://dannythorpe.com/2008/10/06/parallel-make-using-build-stages-to-prevent-pileups/ I’m no longer at Cooliris, so I don’t have the makefiles at hand to answer your specific question.

I have one question though. The OS that's used in my work is Linux (Fedora Core 5 to be exact) and I'm trying to get the *.idl files to compile while using the -j flag. I'm having a problem when you run make -j and the idl compiler compiles the *.idl files (that works just fine), but right after that, it tries to run the g++ compiler and if certain files are not created before this command is run, then you get errors saying that there are missing files. I'm using autotools in order to compute my dependencies when it comes to the *.cpp files and *.h files (so that part is fine), but make doesn't seem to recognize that it needs to compile first the *.idl files before it proceeds with the C++ files. And I'm not sure how to make it realize this. If you can, could you please post your Makefile.am or Makefile? That’s pretty useful Danny.

We've already got more than our fair share of Macs running around here, thanks. If we were any more hip and trendy we'd be a fashion show. :P Hi Corbin!

My 8 core MacPro screams at compiling -- especially since "xcodebuild" has it built in to use muli-core. :) I guess if everyone on your team moves over to Mac OS then there will be no need to fiddle around with DOS make.
