Re: compile time on 2.6.8



I cut the compile time down to 19m20s.  Change line 14
in toplevel Makefile to
MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory -j 3

There has to be a space between the -j and 3 (or 4 or whatever you use).

I did have

MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory -j3
and it took 45m because there was no space.

Just as an aside, I ran another compile just a minute ago and all
I changed from the previous compile was I loaded VESA and VGA Graphics
and 8 and 16 bit fonts in Framebuffer so I would get the silly little
logo instaed of a black screen:

real 1m28.853s

into the kernel instead of as modules   So, if you don't change a lot
of stuff and a bunch of modules don't have to be compiled then it takes
a whole lot less time!!
