With a FBSD 5.3 box I use to compile my favourite programs from scratch with: cd /usr/ports/prog_I_want make make install clean
But sometimes I have to interrupt the compilation because the PC is shared with other people.
How can I resume the compilation session from where I stopped it?
If you <crtl>-c, then compilation breaks. As long as the 'make clean' has not been done, next time you 'make' it will continue where it stopped.
If it is only a short period, you can <crtl>-z (suspend), then you can see the job with 'jobs', make it nice 'renice -20 %<jobnumber>', start it again in background with 'bg %1' or in foreground with 'fg %1'.
Cheers, Erik
