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

20 Jan 2014

...
   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
