grrrrrr ... following the instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel on how to build a custom kernel (some of which is incorrect, more on that later), and builds keep failing at random places, i'm guessing because i have a hyperthreaded quad-core laptop, and the "make -j8" is simply tripping over itself in arbitrary places. what's the easiest way to specify a single-threaded build? yes, it will take forever, but it will be nice to verify that that's the problem. thanks. rday
Theoretically you could do MAKEFLAGS="-j 1" rpmbuild blah-blah gmake looks for the environment variable "MAKEFLAGS". Most reasonable makefiles do "MAKEFLAGS+=other-specific-flags", so it should honor it. Keep in mind that if there are multiple "-j" variables to gmake, it will only honor the LAST one specified. YMMV. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The light at the end of the tunnel is really an oncoming train. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
