Trying to enumerate ways to reduce build times. Faster builds: - export CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh (minimal sh preferred) - out-of-tree build (i.e., run 'configure' in an empty dir), with the build tree in a tmpfs - disable unneeded components (eg, swig, bdb) when they're not needed - pass '-q' to configure, '-s' to make - pass '-C' to configure - pass '-j' or '-j[number]' to make - use cpuset(1)/taskset(1) to bind make to N-1 CPUs
Faster checks: - PARALLEL=1 - CLEANUP="" (and rm -rf svn-test-work/ before the build) - put svn-test-work/ in a tmpfs - SET_LOG_LEVEL=WARN (or ERROR) What else? Thanks, Daniel
