config PARALLEL_JOBS |

int |

prompt "Number of parallel jobs" |
yann@1 | 8 |
default 1 |
yann@1 | 9 |
help |
yann@1 | 10 |
Number of jobs make will be allowed to run concurently. |
yann@1 | 11 |
Set this higher than the number of processors you have, but not too high. |
yann@1 | 12 |
A good rule of thumb is twice the number of processors you have. |
yann@1 | 13 |
|
yann@1 | 14 |
Enter 1 (or 0) to have only one job at a time. |

config LOAD |
yann@1 | 17 |
int |
yann@1 | 18 |
prompt "Maximum allowed load" |
yann@1 | 19 |
default 0 |
yann@1 | 20 |
help |
yann@1 | 21 |
Specifies that no new jobs should be started if there are others jobs |
yann@1 | 22 |
running and the load average is at least this value. |
yann@1 | 23 |
|
yann@1 | 24 |
Makes sense on SMP machines only. |
yann@1 | 25 |
|
yann@1 | 26 |
Enter 0 to have no limit on the load average. |
yann@1 | 27 |
|
yann@1 | 28 |
Note: only the integer part of the load is allowed here (you can't enter |
yann@1 | 29 |
0.75 for example). |

yann@1 | 41 |
prompt "Use -pipe" |
yann@1 | 42 |
default y |
yann@1 | 43 |
help |
yann@1 | 44 |
Use gcc's option -pipe to use pipes rather than temp files when building |
yann@1 | 45 |
the toolchain. |

config CONFIG_SHELL_ASH |
yann@805 | 48 |
bool |
yann@805 | 49 |
prompt "Use 'ash' as CONFIG_SHELL" |
yann@805 | 50 |
default n |
yann@805 | 51 |
help |
yann@805 | 52 |
Use /bin/ash as the shell used by ./configure scripts. |
yann@805 | 53 |
|
yann@805 | 54 |
./configure scripts make intensive use of calling a sub-shell, and the |
yann@805 | 55 |
traditional bash is slow, whereas ash is faster. |
yann@805 | 56 |
|
yann@805 | 57 |
Saying 'y' here should be safe enough, but some components may not |
yann@805 | 58 |
accept using a shell other than bash (this is most probably true for |
yann@805 | 59 |
old versions). If you have trouble, say 'n' here and see if it fixes it. |
