Yes, I didn't tweak (not twerk) the j's this time. I'm using a laptop and I was having problems with overheating and shutdown if I did -j4. (My AC's old and needs an upgrade (as well as my laptop by the look of it)). > > Also, your firefox build looks as if something is wrong in your > mozconfig - with xulrunner already built, firefox should only take a > few minutes, even with make -j 1.

I built Firefox first and then realized I needed xulrunner because I wanted icedtea-web (that's really very silly isn't it - surely it should be possible to make icedtea-web build against Firefox. After all, it's Firefox that's running my Java applets. I didn't want both xulrunner and Firefox on my system if it's not absolutely necessary). It seems the developers are outpacing the hardware guys, despite Moore's Law. jb. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
