Here's the "trick" with firefox (and all the moz programs). The configure scripts need to run synchronously, but the build can all be done with parallel jobs. So, instead of just running `make -j4 -f client.mk build', run: $ make -j1 -f client.mk configure $ make -j4 -f client.mk build Then you only have to slow down a little to wait for the configure steps to complete (which is the same as any autotooled package, anyway). -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
