Hi all, I'd like to change the default optimizations we ship with jhalfs.
First, the opt_override file The line: zlib defOpt_fPIC is not needed anymore with recent (less than 4 year old at least) versions of zlib. I do not even know if setting -fPIC by hand does not defeat some automatic detection. Also, the line: glibc noOpt is IMHO not needed: if somebody wants to use optimization, I would guess that glibc is a good start... Usually, modern versions of glibc accept very well optimization. If at some time, optimization becomes broken, I think it is up to the user to figure that out and to add the line in opt_override! for gcc, noOpt is needed, and for grub, I do not know, but it does not hurt... Now, the opt_config file. I'd like to ship it with MAKFLAGS="-j5" (quadricore CPUs are very common these days) and DEF_OPT_MODE=noOpt This is the most likely way people would want to use the file: job parallelization, but otherwise no deviation from the book. Any thought? Regards, Pierre -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
