"make -j" without a numeric argument will overwhelm most machines
fairly quickly in complex makes. Since you're running a dual-core
machine, try "make -j3" or "make -j4". This will limit the number of
concurrent processes to something reasonable and provide decent load
balancing between processing and i/o. (I haven't looked at the gimp
Makefiles recently, but running gcc with the -pipe option might help
performance, at least on Linux systems--I haven't a clue about Windows
systems.) Don Rozenberg wrote: Hi, I recently acquired a new PC with a dual core chip running Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. So when I last tried to build Gimp, version 2.3.18, I used "make -j" and the build terminated with an error in just a few seconds. If I just use the command "make", the build completes successfully in about 10 minutes. Reading up on parallel make, I conclude that the Gimp makefile is not up to snuff for doing a parallel make. Naively perhaps, I think that is a shame because I bet a lot of people would save a lot of time if they could do parallel makes. Has anyone looked at doing parallel builds of Gimp?
