Some source trees disable parallel builds because of known bugs in their makefiles. I think Mozilla does this, but I don't know about XFree. This can be done either in the upstream makefile or in the ebuild. If that's the case the only real solution is to fix the Makefiles and send patches upstream. I have done this for a few GNOME packages. It can be a bit hard. Hopefully distcc will motivate more people to do it. -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
