I'm currently working on ccache (speed up recompiling), distcc (compile on more machines) and make -j <n> (parallel compile in <n> threads, speed gain on multicore/smp etc) or in general speeding up the buildprocess. Another idea that i want to evaluate and eventually implement is building in several instances, as an addition/alternative to make -j. So not only compile on _one_ packet at a time, but build several packages (that do not depend on each other) in parallel. This avoids "gaps" in the processor usage, because even while some packet is downloading or unpacking, there is another one compiling. If you have more ideas on stressing the avaliable ressouces as much as possible, or in general, building as fast as the machine can, please tell me. And yes, i know some developer(s) don't like make -j, ccache (and possibly neither distcc). They'll become optional, non-default, features. So no need to flame ;) Bye, Lothar _______________________________________________ freewrt-developers mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-developers
