RE: [Plug] Kernel recompile...
|
Being ignorant (a suitable substitute for brave in this case) I issued a
"make -j" to build my 2.2.7 kernel. What a trip watching xosview -- load
average up over 48.0, CPU pegged at 100%, watching memory used wipe out
memory buffered/cached...until I ran out of memory, then CPU usage dropped
to ~50% and swap space started climbing. I noticed that I started getting
lots of compiler errors at that point -- parse errors and the like. Anyone
want to guess why? I'm wondering if it was because I ran out of file
handles and gcc couldn't open all the include files or temporary files it
needed. I didn't see any "xxxx.c: cannot open" errors, though. Might have
to do that again and pipe the output to a file...
Just junk food for thought!

make -j 5
speed up your builds
make dep && make clean && make -j 5 bzImage && make -j 5 modules && make -j
5 modules_install

Of course, you can do -j with no parameter if you're brave...but it should
shave a few more seconds off your kernel compiles (ever seen a linux box
bog down? -- just do 'make -j bzImage', it's like swimming in molasses).
