It does depend on your hardware, and I think you've discounted the tens of seconds it takes to build binutils pass 1 with -j1. I've just completed chapter 5 on my A10 (-j4 after binutils1) - about 39m40. In this case, my own scripts probably do add a little overhead for logging of what got installed (and rather more overhead on a completed desktop system) - but theyi do let me sort out which optional dependencies and extra configure switches I care about. For a first build, FBBG - but after that, if you stay with us then _some_ form of scripting is essential if you aren't going to go out of your mind (although debugging the scripts can also do that :) Still, I'm happy that this machine of mine is again semi-usable, and a LOT faster than my first single-core x86_64 machines. /me waits for AMD Ryzen to become both available and affordable. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
