X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2003 23:56:04 -0000 The handbook recommends using -j4 with 'make buildworld'. Can the kernel be safely built with -jX? Searching the archives I came across a discussion from december concluding ports should not be built with -jX. Does this apply to all ports? How can I find out, other than by trial-and-error, which ports can be built with -jX? Cheers, Are-Harald
