Fink has an internal setting to allow propagation of the MAKEFLAGS shell environment variable into the build process (fink usually blanks this field as part of its environment-consistency policy). That way a user can decide what to do, but has to do it explicitly (and with knowledge that some packages may have build problems (but if they are reported, those packages can expliticly re-set -j1)). There's info on Fink Wiki I think. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
