Re: Pause with make



Hi Randall,

Your hunch might be right. I used to 
	cd //c/p4dev/... 
to my build directory before kicking off make.
As per your suggestion, I used
	cd c:/p4dev/...
And there is no more pause.

The reason I used to use // instead of c:/ is that
// enabled file name completion with tab. With c:/
my make is faster but file name completion is disabled.
I can fix that.

Thanks for your help,

Manisha



Hi,

Might it be that make is constructing names with two leading slashes and 
hence frequent searches for non-existent network names occur during its 
execution?
