Description

our local.conf on buildhostcontains:

PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 3"

but somehow I never see more than one compiler running simultaneously, even with
packages (Such as kernel) that clearly support it.

Using Mokomakefile (which I changed for the PARALLEL_MAKE) it seems to work for
me. I can see top showing several compiler processes at the same time.

comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by philippedeswert@…

It works for glibc, but it seems not to work for the kernel though. I am also
looking at alsa-lib being build with multiple compiler processes just now.

Should it work for more packages or is this the normal OE behaviour for -j 3?

Any news on this? It seems that PARALLEL_MAKE should work.
Also since we're using a newer bitbake version this might be fixed already.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

Closing as fixed. On the buildhost we now use:

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j8"

which seems to work most of the times.
