I have just tested and it builds with -j8, here, with and without "--enable-cogl-gst". > > Because I use automation, I'd like to have "make -j1" in the instructions for > all packages which do not support parallel builds. > > Now, if we want to explain something general about this problem, I would say > it goes into BLFS's "note on building software". > > Pierre > Without having created any, believe I've used both. However, as in the cogl case, a note just before make would be preferred. If it cannot be demonstrated other than -j1 can be use, then, -j1 would be probably preferable than a note. I any case, adding a discussion in "note on building software" as suggested by Pierre would be good. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
