[petsc-dev] make -j not supported? Why???

[Nystrom, William D]

How do I make sure I am using the cmake based build and not the legacy build?  My build process
looks like the following:

  NJ=16

  configure \
      --PETSC_DIR=$PETSC_DIR \
      --PETSC_ARCH=$PETSC_ARCH \
      --download-cmake=yes \
      --download-f-blas-lapack=yes \
      --with-mpi=1 \
      --with-mpi-dir=$MPI_ROOT \
      --with-openmp=1 \
      --with-pthreadclasses=1 \
      --with-threadcomm=1 \
      --with-shared-libraries \
      --with-debugging=0 \
      --with-make-np=$NJ \
      --FOPTFLAGS="-O3" \
      --COPTFLAGS="-O3" \
      --CXXOPTFLAGS="-O3" \
      --with-c2html=0 \
      --with-large-file-io=1

  make all

   Hmm, with the cmake based build -k seems to work fine, it keeps on going compiling everything it can. Without the -k it stops when the first compile fails. So it is supporting the "otherwise-standard make options".

   Yes, the legacy build which is only a fallback for when cmake fails, is funky. Are you using it? If so, let us know why and we'll try to improve the cmake version so that you don't need the legacy; even I don't use it any more.
