Makefile: fix use of -j without an argument
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Our Makefile massages the given make arguments to invoke ninja
accordingly. One key difference is that ninja will parallelize by
default, whereas make only does so with -j<n> or -j. The make man page
says that "if the -j option is given without an argument, make will not
limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously". We use to support
that by replacing -j with "" (empty string) when calling ninja, so that
it would do its auto-parallelization based on the number of CPU cores.

This was accidentally broken at d1ce2cc (Makefile: preserve
--jobserver-auth argument when calling ninja, 2024-04-02),
causing `make -j` to fail:

$ make -j V=1
  /usr/bin/ninja -v   -j -d keepdepfile all | cat
  make  -C contrib/plugins/ V="1" TARGET_DIR="contrib/plugins/" all
  ninja: fatal: invalid -j parameter
  make: *** [Makefile:161: run-ninja] Error

Let's fix that and indent the touched code for better readability.
