Hi Jude, I can't answer your question directly because, frankly, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But I'll try my best to clear things up for you. The `nproc` command prints how many processors (CPU cores) are available for applications to use. This is how many emerge or make jobs can run

Hi Michael, -march=x86-64 and -mtune=generic will not speed up your OS installation. These flags tell compilers to produce binaries that can run on any AMD64 system and that aren't optimized for your specific system. These flags have no effect on binary packages, since those have already been

Hi Jude, When the build failed, emerge asked you post 3 things when you need support. Of those, you've managed to omit the most important thing, i.e. the build log. Without it, it would be impossible to help you. Regards, Waldo On Thu, May 23, 2024, 23:46 Jude DaShiell wrote: > Portage 3.0.63

Hi Dale, CFLAGS can't have an effect on dependencies. It is passed to make; emerge doesn't use it. Emerge does use CPU_FLAGS_*, but I don't know if those flags are used for any conditional dependencies. Regards, Waldo On Mon, Apr 29, 2024, 07:07 Dale wrote: > Dale wrote: > > Howdy, > > > >

Re: [gentoo-user] Using the new binpkgs

If you add --ask --verbose, Portage should tell you why it's falling back to the source package. Does your emerge command include --getbinpkg, or -g? On Tue, Apr 16, 2024, 15:43 Peter Humphrey wrote: > On Monday, 15 April 2024 12:19:02 BST Peter Humphrey wrote: > > Hello list, > > [Big snip] >

Re: [gentoo-user] Resizing boot partition while dual-booting

2024-04-03 Thread Waldo Lemmer
Hi Vit I presume you plan to have a single boot partition that will contain your bootloader, kernel and initramfs. There are actually two kinds of boot partitions that are commonly used together: 1. The EFI system partition (ESP) contains Linux and Windows's bootloaders. It's formatted as FAT. 2.
