In any case I think that a faster compiling will really be a good thing. I have been reading another time the man of make.conf and I still have some doubts. Neither in the example either in the man page there is any reference to "MAKEOPTS". Changing from -j1 to -j3 would really be a huge difference! To be able to set this is very important. Then I don't want an ultra tweaked make.conf like gentooers do. Just a reasonable one. (And you have convinced me, I won't recompile everything. Just to have a good compiling when I will be upgrading) I have some doubts about the correct syntax, the man is ambiguous in this point. If I write CPUTYPE= core2 will it automatically sets all the best safe CFLAGS for my core or just set the -march=core2 Should my make.conf be like: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 CFLAGS= --O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing or just: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 or maybe: MAKEOPTS==-j3 CPUTYPE=core2 CFLAGS+= --O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing >Please take a look at the following pages, they have a lot more >information about this matter ;) >http://funroll-loops.info/ >http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74072 Actually that's really funny!! I think that's why there are so many pages about gentoo and almost none about other OSes. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
