In most cases the results were useless, | because make seems to run sequential steps parallel. | | A "make -j2 install clean" in a port directory sometimes makes | install and clean simultanous. This is the best way to reproduce | it - buildworld takes to long on this system. For ports, you're better off doing make MAKE_ARGS="-jN".. so it will only run "make -jN" in the work source directory when building the actual program. --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
