MAKEFLAG ignored by kernel build?

tale · 2004-02-20 17:30:38

I just played with the kernel26-PKGBUILD as I saw that my P4-HT-CPU just uses one logical cpu to compile, despite my settings in /etc/makepkg.conf. I tried to put MAKEFLAGS="-j 3" in front of the make command in the PKGBUILD file, no success. But by typing the same commands (MAKEFLAGS="-j3" make bzImage) on the prompt, both logical cpus are used. Suprisingly everything works as expected with every other package I compile...

What is going on?!

Thanks for any help!

MAKEFLAGS are ignored in this situation. I actually talked to apeiro about it a long time ago when I was setting up distcc.

I had to do it like this:

alias make='make -j6'
shopt -s expand_aliases

in my makepkg.conf, instead of the MAKEFLAGS.

thanks for the tip, but it still does not work...

Did you ever get this to work. I am using distcc trying to fix the same issue.

Thanks.

sorry no, i found no way to make this work i hope you have more luck, though.

Ok,

I got this to work, not sure how correct this is though.

in the makepkg.conf file I added the two lines, similiar to the post above:

alias make="make -j6 CC=distcc"
shopt -s expand_aliases

This fixes my kerenel compiles, however I haven't tested on any other packages.

This can also cause problems with certain builds.

You might want to check the new makepkg -j option.
