Dual CPU compilation.
Hello, I'm the lucky new owner of a dual Pentium Pro system. It seems, however, that compiling stuff just doesn't use my extra CPU. I know I can compile with 'make -j 2' to use the second processor; but I don't know how to convince kernel-package and dpkg-deb (apt-get source) to do that for me. Any tips? Thanks, Simon

Any tips? this question belongs on debian-user, not debian-devel. type: export MAKE='make -j3' before running make-kpkg. note that the kernel is known to have problems compiling reliably when you use make -j. this won't be fixed until Keith Owens and others have got their fixed kernel build system into the kernel tree - that won't happen until 2.5.x i believe. i've successfully compiled several kernels using -j3, but it's not something i'd want to rely on at the moment. craig -- craig sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key: 1024D/CD5626F0 Key fingerprint: 9674 7EE2 4AC6 F5EF 3C57 52C3 EC32 6810 CD56 26F0
