However, when I use "make -j 4" and there an error, it does not stop immediately because of the parallel build using several CPU cores
Is there a way to cause "make -j 4" to stop on the first compilation error ?
Control-C works pretty well. If you don't want to watch it scroll by waiting for an error, write an 'expect' script to do it for you.
