[gentoo-user] disable dropping to -j1 when building certain programs
How can I disable portage dropping or overriding my MAKEOPTS variable setting when building certain programs?

Marzan, Richard non Unisys skrev: How can I disable portage dropping or overriding my MAKEOPTS variable setting when building certain programs? Isn't that self defeating, when an ebuild contains enforced -j1 it's because the program can't compile with -j2 or higher. The makefile is written badly and doesn't provide make with the needed information to safely create the execution path. Fx. making a library other parts of the code use is not blocking compilation of all files depending on this internal library. Or my personal favorite: create somefile mv somefile someplace/somefile mv someplace/somefile someotherplace/somefile Dunno why someone needs to move a file twice in a row... but some make files does things like this. But sure go ahead and make custom ebuilds without the make -j1. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Yeah, I think you're going to have to re-engineer the makefiles if you want to escape from their -j1 requirements. In other words, it will take longer to change the requirement than it will to compile the sources one at a time ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] disable dropping to -j1 when building certain programs
I was not suggesting making ebuilds that will ignore mandatory -j1. I was merely trying to find out what is the correct variable to use in make.conf...I'm willing sacrifice my system for experimental purposes. I remember it being something_MP= or similar. It exists as an option in make.conf I have it set a home but can't remember what it is. Does anyone happen to know? -Original Message- From: Steen Eugen Poulsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 12:29 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] disable dropping to -j1 when building certain programs Marzan, Richard non Unisys skrev: How can I disable portage dropping or overriding my MAKEOPTS variable setting when building certain programs?
