Here's a better description. Does parallel make work for mozilla on Linux?
I used the configurator script tool at
http://webtools.mozilla.org/build/config.cgi, and added the following to
~/.mozconfig:
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j4
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-idltool
ac_add_options --disable-dtd-debug
Here is the compilation error:
cd config; /usr/bin/gmake export
