I've had so many issues with builds failing when the number of jobs increases, random shit breaking between versions of make, issues with timestamps causing false positives for reconfiguration, and so on - it's really not reliable at all when doing big builds on modern systems where you care about caching, distribution, and parallelism.
- blueflow 4y agoHaving your other comment in mind, is your grievance with Make in general or some specific Makefiles you have to work with?
- duped 4y agoIt's with make - a modern build system should be content addressed and not rely on mtimes to determine if anything is out of date. Add on that many make builds are nondeterministic and you have a recipe for sadness.
