#38309: Compiling gettext @0.18.2.1 (devel) loops -----------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: kotedo@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: gettext | -----------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Just to check one thing: edit /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and see what's set for buildmakejobs. If it's commented out, or set to 0, then MacPorts should use as many virtual CPU cores as you have (or as many virtual CPU cores as you have GB of RAM, whichever is smaller) and that's usually a good thing. If you've set buildmakejobs to a small number like 1 or 2 that would explain why MacPorts isn't making full use of your processors and takes longer to build things. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38309#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
