Hello,
I know this is the devel list, and hopefully my questions are legitimate:
In the interest of speeding up builds, I've been trying to use distcc to build fink. Obviously, I'd rather not have to modify all the .info files individually. In particular I need to redefine $CC. Unfortunately, just going 'export CC= ... && fink install xyz' doesn't do the trick. Further, I'd like to do something so that make gets automagically expanded to make -j2. Any ideas on how to do this easily?
If you installed the fink distcc package in unstable, all you should need to do is edit /sw/etc/distcc.conf to list your hosts. To make everything use -j2, edit your /sw/etc/profile.d/distcc.csh (I plan on changing this to something more user-friendly in the next release.)
Also, is it really necessary to do -O3 -funroll-loops on so many packages? Given how long things often take to build, and the fact that -O3 frequently causes code bloat, wouldn't -O2 or -O be better suited?
I think most stuff that is doing that is doing it because it's some kind of default in the package.
