Re: Best way to keep large ports uptodate
Only thing I can think of is that I have CPUTYPE as I686 in my custom kernel and as p3 in /etc/make.conf. Should I try changing /etc/make.conf to I686? The computer is a 600MHz p3. No. The settings you got is exactly right for your CPU. :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Best way to keep large ports uptodate
Hello everyone, I'm a recent convert from debian based systems. I must say that I am very happy with freebsd so far. Currently I've been using portupgrade to keep all my ports current, and it works great. With very large ports such as KDE/base/libs/etc it takes several hours to compile on my little 600MHz laptop. Is there a way to keep the previously compiled objects around so when I upgrade the next time only the changes have to be recompiled? Or am I better off just waiting until major updates and doing a clean compile then? Also, top isn't showing any percentages as far as user, cpu, nice etc. I remember reading that it is usually caused by world/kernel not being compiled and installed together. However I did just that...rebuilt world, kernel and installed per the handbook. This is with 4.10p2. Only thing I can think of is that I have CPUTYPE as I686 in my custom kernel and as p3 in /etc/make.conf. Should I try changing /etc/make.conf to I686? The computer is a 600MHz p3. -Rob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
