Re: [trinity-devel] Can TDE now build in parallel jobs (i.e. -j2 or -j4)?

...

A year or so ago, building with make -j >1 was advised against due to the potential to produce spurious build failures, etc. Has that changed? The build time savings is attractive, but if there hasn't been any testing, best to stick to -j1 for now?

The only build scripts where I limit NUMJOBS=-j1:

dependencies/avahi-tqt/avahi-tqt.SlackBuild libraries/pytdeextensions/pytdeextensions.SlackBuild tdebindings/tdebindings.SlackBuild

For everything else:

if [ "$NUMJOBS" = "" ]; then NUMJOBS="`grep -c '^processor' /proc/cpuinfo`" NUMJOBS=$(($NUMJOBS + 2)) export NUMJOBS="-j${NUMJOBS}" fi

The build farm builds everything on 8-core machines with parallel jobs allowed, and I haven't seen any failures.
