The NUM_THREADS variable in the main Makefile is only used for parallel testing, that is, when you run "make ptest". I consider it a bug that it doesn't respect the "MAKE=make -jN" environment variable setting. But then, you can always run sage -tp N to set the number of threads to anything you want. Or edit the Makefile, which will be a nice test for the new sage-root repository scripts if you ever try to upgrade Sage.
For the build target, make will use as many threads as you specify in $MAKE. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
