Hi. I'm going to be rebuilding Gnome 2.10.1 from ports once FreeBSD 5.4 is released. It's all too easy to get too involved with CPUTYPE and CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf, but I was wondering what the general opinion/experience on these was when building Gnome. I'm less concerned with CFLAGS as the 'standard' advice seems to be that moving from -O to -02 has little effect, but is changing CPUTYPE likely to make much difference in performance? Is there a 'highest' (i.e. newest) CPUTYPE (say, i686) that I can use before the Gnome ports start failing to build or become unstable during runtime. Doing a search on the mailing lists seemed to suggest that gstreamer had to have conservative CPUTYPE setting at some point, but no real mention of other components of Gnome. Any pointers appreciated ... Cheers! Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
