In gnustep-make trunk I added support for parallel compilation. If a piece of software (eg, and application, bundle, tool or library) is created by compiling and linking a number of source code files, gnustep-make can now compile them in parallel for speed. :-)
The existing gnustep-make API and functionality is entirely unchanged and I hope most GNUmakefiles will work under parallel compilation with no changes. :-) I would be grateful if people could try it out and report issues :-) Once you have installed gnustep-make from trunk, you can try compiling your own favourite project in parallel by using -- make GNUSTEP_MAKE_PARALLEL_BUILDING=yes -j4 (use whatever -jN flag you want, eg, use -j2 to parallelize less) (sorry for the need to use GNUSTEP_MAKE_PARALLEL_BUILDING=yes, it's because it's experimental code - if it works well we can make it the default and remove the need for that additional variable) If you try it out, let me know how it goes. ;-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
