Not exactly. Not all software supports parallel building. Each port must be tested to ensure that it works. As ports are tested, "use_parallel_build yes" is added to the portfile. Then MacPorts will build those ports using -j$jobs (where $jobs is the number of CPU cores in your computer). This was added for MacPorts 1.6.
Is there any reason why this option isn't documented in the portfile(7) man page?
BTW, gcc42 which is flagged as parrallel safe breaks for me at destroot. So it might happen that stuff that works on 2 cores fail with more cores.
Well, how many cores do you have, and what error are you getting?
It was a general warning rather than a bug report ... 8 cores and happens during destroot. I did not keep the output but it had something to do with "waiting for unfinished jobs" yves
