make -k
Do not rely on the exit status of make -k
. Some implementations
reflect whether they encountered an error in their exit status; other
implementations always succeed.
$ cat Makefile all: false $ make -k; echo exit status: $? # GNU make false make: *** [all] Error 1 exit status: 2 $ pmake -k; echo exit status: $? # BSD make false *** Error code 1 (continuing) exit status: 0
