Multithread compilation and maxmod

Hi!
If i enable parallel compilation in the makefile with -j4, the build fails because a maxmod header is not found:
Code: Select all
fatal error: soundbank_bin.h: No such file or directory
#include "soundbank_bin.h"
However, if I bash the build key a lot eventually the header is built and the compilation finishes successfully!
So... there's a way to force maxmod util to work with parallel builds?
Thanks a lot guys

I am by no means a makefile expert, but it sounds like you might need a build rule for the header with a dependency on the soundbank - or some other dependency to make the sound bank processed first. this might fall into the category of - if you need to ask the question then you probably should not mess with it. does it really take all that long to build anyway?

It seems that soundbank_bin.h is a little header which contains always the same code:
Code: Select all
extern const u8 soundbank_bin_end[];
extern const u8 soundbank_bin[];
extern const u32 soundbank_bin_size;
So replacing the header inclusion with its code allows me to use parallel compiling!

Not yet, but I'd like to do a c++11 project with some templates and some constexpr goodness, so maybe some day...
