If you want to stop the build after a step you are debugging, you can pass the
variable STOP to make:
- make STOP=some_step
+ ct-ng STOP=some_step
Conversely, if you want to restart a build at a specific step you are
debugging, you can pass the RESTART variable to make:
- make RESTART=some_step
+ ct-ng RESTART=some_step
Alternatively, you can call make with the name of a step to just do that step:
- make libc_headers
+ ct-ng libc_headers
is equivalent to:
- make RESTART=libs_headers STOP=libc_headers
+ ct-ng RESTART=libs_headers STOP=libc_headers
The shortcuts -step_name and step_name- allow to respectively stop or restart
at that step. Thus:
