Re: Make hal successfully but still report problem

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Calvin,

Parallel makefile execution [make -jn, where n >1] is not enabled by
default. In order to have make execute instructions in parallel during
the build,  a GAR makefile variable, PARALLELMFLAGS, needs to be set in
one of the gar.*.mk files. 

For example, 

        # set parallel make flag
        PARALLELMFLAGS= -j2

So having two CPUs is not causing the problem with jade.

So what's going on??? 
* 'make paranoid-install' will stop on any error, which is generally a
good thing.

* jade is having some issues with the style sheets installed on your
system.
