Makefile

#
# This is a simple wrapper Makefile that calls the main Makefile.perf
# with a -j option to do parallel builds
#
# If you want to invoke the perf build in some non-standard way then
# you can use the 'make -f Makefile.perf' method to invoke it.
#

#
# Clear out the built-in rules GNU make defines by default (such as .o targets),
# so that we pass through all targets to Makefile.perf:
#
.SUFFIXES:

#
# We don't want to pass along options like -j:
#
unexport MAKEFLAGS

#
# Do a parallel build with multiple jobs, based on the number of CPUs online
# in this system: 'make -j8' on a 8-CPU system, etc.
#
# (To override it, run 'make JOBS=1' and similar.)
#
ifeq ($(JOBS),)
  JOBS := $(shell grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo 2>/dev/null)
  ifeq ($(JOBS),)
    JOBS := 1
