How about parallel make ?!
Current make world sequence is :
1. make hierarchy mk bootstrap include-tools 1includes lib-tools
libraries build-tools
2. make depend all install
3. make makedb
However, I seldome just type "make world", I will make step-1 first,
and then type "make depend all" in /usr/src/* to parallel make
(2 to 3 makes running). Finally, type "make install makedb"
I think that there should be no binary-library dependency problem
in step-2, if I have fast cpu, much ram (in fact my p-120 with
32mb ram handles 2-3 makes well), parallel make should speed up
the whole thing.
How do you think ?! :)
(ps. and what about making kernel ?!)
