[Gumstix-users] OE Building Tip Parallel Building

[ptkdb <and...@ya...>]

NOTE:   This is most effective on workstations/servers that have multiple
CPUs or Multi-Core CPUs.  My own experience on doing full gumstix-oe builds
on a single core Pentium4 machine and a Quad Core Core2 Duo machine has been
an improvement in build times of about a factor of 6x.



You can make a simple adjustment to the gumstix-oe/build/conf/site.conf to
make it use all of the available CPUs on a build machine by uncommenting the
last two lines:


# Uncomment these lines to enable parallel make.
# This allows make to spawn mutliple processes to take advantage of multiple 
# processors. Useful on SMP machines
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 4"
BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4"
