I was not suggesting making ebuilds that will ignore mandatory -j1. I was merely trying to find out what is the correct variable to use in make.conf...I'm willing sacrifice my system for experimental purposes. I remember it being something_MP="" or similar. It exists as an option in make.conf I have it set a home but can't remember what it is. Does anyone happen to know?

The makefile is written badly and doesn't provide make with the needed information to safely create the execution path. Fx. making a library other parts of the code use is not blocking compilation of all files depending on this internal library. Or my personal favorite: create somefile mv somefile someplace/somefile mv someplace/somefile someotherplace/somefile Dunno why someone needs to move a file twice in a row... but some make files does things like this. But sure go ahead and make custom ebuilds without the make -j1. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
