[LTP] [PATCH] Makefile: Disable parallel build for $(CRITICAL_MAKEFILES)

[Jungsoo Son]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 898 bytes --]

This patch fixes parallel build error. When use parallel build

with -j16 or -j8, $(CRITICAL_MAKEFILES) are created as empty file

because generate-makefiles is called several times. So need to

disable parallel build.

The following code can guarantee sequencial building.

.NOTPARALLEL: $(CRITICAL_MAKEFILES)

The problem is that Open Posix Testsuite should stuck with POSIX make.
At least we promise that we will not break it actively. Now the 2008
POSIX make still does not support the idea of parallel build. I will
have a look what will other than GNU make implementations do with such
rule. If it would be ignored then we are fine adding it, if not we will
have to figure out how to detect GNU make and add the line accordingly.

I got a an idea how to fix this in portable fashion. The key is the
order of filenames the make looks for.

The gnu make tries GNUmakefile first, then makefile or Makefile.

So if we create GNUmakefile, which would include the Makefile and adds
the .NOTPARALLEL: target it should work both with both GNU make and any
other POSIX conforming make out there.

Again the same problem as previously. The POSIX specification does not
require the -j option to exist as the standard does not take parallel
build into the account at all. And for the Open Posix part of LTP we
need to stick to the POSIX.

And looking at the POSIX spec again, the POSIX make does not even
support including files. So the only way how to fix this is to copy the
top level Makefile to GNUmakefile and add the line. :(

I've looked into the openposix Makefile and it allready contains non
conforming '-j1' options. I will have closer look at the build scripts
and Makefiles.
