I suppose you are speaking of WANT_MP=true which is used by a few packages (mozilla-sunbird, mozilla-firefox and openoffice). It does not affect any other packages though. -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
RE: [gentoo-user] disable dropping to -j1 when building certain programs
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.

The makefile is written badly and doesn't provide make with the needed information to safely create the execution path.

Yeah, I think you're going to have to re-engineer the makefiles if you want to escape from their -j1 requirements. In other words, it will take longer to change the requirement than it will to compile the sources one at a time ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

How can I disable portage dropping or overriding my MAKEOPTS variable setting when building certain programs?
