Re: [Gimp-developer] SMP support
Hi, Michael Soibelman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just noticed that there no longer seems to be the --with-smp configuration option! Is this an omission or intentional? IIRC, the configuration option to add support for multiple processors has always been --with-mp and it's still there. Also, excuse my ignorance, but can options such as --with-smp be passed to the rpm command rpm's do include prebuilt binary packages, you can't reconfigure them later. I suggest you build from source if you want SMP support. Salut, Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I suggest you build from source if you want SMP support. Unless you build from source RPMs, of course. Just install it and edit the spec file to include what options you want and rebuild the RPM. Keeps the dependency tracking nice and orderly.

[Gimp-developer] smp
Is gimp optimized for use on SMP systems? I would like to build a linux dual box . sincerely, R.Cox

Does it actually work? AFAIK, yes. You specify --with-mp=yes when running configure and configure the number of processors in the prefs. Of course multiple processors are also automatically used since plug-ins are separate processes and can though be run on different CPUs.

If gimp is configured using --with-mp=yes and the number of CPUs is configured correctly in the prefs some core functions run parallel too.
