[cmake-developers] issues with parallel building on OpenBSD

[Amit Kulkarni]

Hi all,

On OpenBSD, we want to build cmake and some critical cmake based ports
in parallel using our dpb (distributed ports builder). We pass j=N in
a MAKE_JOBS environment variable when building cmake and cmake based
ports using our Makefile hierarchy. It seems that when we use gmake,
cmake builds in parallel, i.e with -j option. Plain bsd make fails
here...

Our porters want to track down this issue and have it built in
parallel, so is the environment variable to pass j=N flag called
MAKEFLAGS? A pointer would be appreciated before digging into the
source.

Thanks in advance
