Hello Simon,
It is not used by default, but there is a -j option. If you use -j, first make sure you reduce the number of threads to compensate. So for example you can use:
buildman -j 8 -T 1
Ooh! I did not know buildman has such options. Thanks!
The intent was that buildman supported everything that MAKEALL does and more. I believe that is true except for the in-tree build you mention above. However, I think there might also be some small difference between the way the -f option is implemented in buildman, and the way MAKEALL works. It might be worth splitting the -f option into two:
- one to force rebuild of a board
- another to force a reconfigure on every build
Then we could be sure. In summary, if we do that and support in-tree builds then I think buildman has all the features of MAKEALL.
That's good to know.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
