You see, I actually never had a clear vision of the whole `make -j' issue during making the world. Most notably, I'm not quite sure that it's perfectly OK to use it, that is, not being afraid that something would go wrong. So, I've been running make without specifying any of that -j numbers, just to be sure it won't break anything along the way. Right now I'm very curious about these questions: 1. Is it safe to build stable world/kernel with `-j n'? What are possible restrictions/limitations on n would be in this case? 2. What is optimal n? 3. Is there any way to specify the actual make (not gcc) options in make.conf, so I don't issue `make -j n' all the time, but simply type in `make target' and all my options would come in play? Thanks a lot! -- Regards, Alexey Dokuchaev aka DAN Fe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
