Hello freebsd-questions, I am no expert on make, so, here goes: Can -j options be used for make when building ports? I have an AMD X2 6000+ so presumably I'd use -j3 if this is possible. I know from the docs that -j is not recommended for make installkernel or installworld - but for some ports particularly the metaports I'd like to specify it if only to make the process faster. I'd like to use -j for portsonly and perhaps specify on the commandline when rebuilding the OS from source Is this possible or am I being unreasonable, or both, or not? thanks, -- John - lists@reiteration.net
