Much more clever would be to mention MAKEFLAGS in the intro somewhere, and add -j1 as needed for the packages that don't support parallel make. This is what I do in my build scripts, and out of >1300 source packages, I've only had to enforce -j1 for 15 or so. Many of those are using obscure build systems, e.g. cdrtools with its Silly Makefile System. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
