so you just had very very much luck on your way... there are packages which CAN fail with parallel builds. whenever i run into a problem, i just restart the package with -j1 which often solved the problem magically in the past... i'm used to set -jX to the number of cores i have (currently -j8 on my i7) globally which speeds up the build-time significally. my system might be a little special, as i use a SSD and the working diretory for the builds is a tmpfs as i have 16g of ram available. thus disk-io is very very very fast. from the base LFS i have to overwrite -j8 for make grub make groff make / test udev test tar test patch test binutils as i don't check the makeflag on each new version, probably one or another package meanwile would rund fine with -j8. for python make and test run fine with -j8, but install requires -j1 (not always, but on rary occasions it fails as files are tried to be installed into a directory not yet build by another thread) recently i had intermittent failures on both xulrunner and firefox where i build with -jX since a very long time. with version 15.0 the build fails at about half of the builds on my system. giving -j1 runs fine. i can use 8 cores in the mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j8" but NOT in the MAKEFLAGS or the make-commandline! tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
