Please could you use the variable name DPDK_MAKE_JOBS? This name is already used in scripts/test-build.sh. > +if [ -z "$MAKE_JOBS" ] > +then > + # This counts the number of cpus on the system > + MAKE_JOBS=`lscpu -p=cpu | grep -v "#" | wc -l` > +fi Is lscpu common enough? Another acceptable default would be just "-j" without any number. It would make the number of jobs unlimited.
