Sadly, not the case. See, ./configure doesn't parallelise *at all*, and some packages either override make to not run in parallel (because the ebuild maintainer is too lazy to fix buggy upstream makefiles) or because the source files have lots of dependencies. So, it depends pretty much entirely upon the package as to how SMP affects it. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Sparc, MIPS, Vim, Fluxbox) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature=_Sun__11_Jul_2004_00_32_51_+0100_=75s6FMdsiI0efMz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA8Hyo96zL6DUtXhERAtLkAJ9PKvf1/cqVoglY7ajq5FNLKtfZVQCgkNTl 4oDqFIMQ6i2tyee5fBpz764= =dbp1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__11_Jul_2004_00_32_51_+0100_=75s6FMdsiI0efMz--
