so the thing that is broken with the cmake version of the %make_jobs macro (compared to the version in the Qt package) is %make_jobs -C build/something the params end up after the the %endif of the cmake make_jobs macro the main difference between the 2 macros is enabling verbose mode and support for ninja. the first step is already handled by the __builder macro. but the verbose flag is why we need the %if, so my proposal would be the following change. ``` # added the %_make_output_sync from %make_build here as it is useful. %__builder_verbose \ %if "%__builder" == "%__make" \ %{?_make_output_sync} VERBOSE=1 \\\ %else \ -v \\\ %endif \ %{nil} %make_jobs %__builder \\%__builder_verbose %{?_smp_mflags} ``` this makes Fabian's usecase work. now the question is on how do we make this change in a backwards compatible way. in ideal world we would just move the whole %make_jobs macro to the rpm macros file but that would require a maintenance update for rpm and everyone building against :Update. or we just copy the macro around and have a comment that asks people to keep the macro in sync between the different places. thoughts?
