[proaudio] MAKEOPTS and multicore processor

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/proaudio Archives ]


I experimented complete system freeze merging hugin. I have a 4 core phenom and
followed the advice into the handbook by setting 

MAKEOPTS="-j5"

When the system was hanging, around or less than 1G ram was in use and the
processor use for the 4 cores was 100%.

I try with

MAKEOPTS="-j2" emerge hugin

and it worked just fine.

Is it just to go with MAKEOPTS="-j2" in make.conf ?

Ciao,
Dominique
