Hi,

Does 2.7.1 not use parallel compilation any more? I just compiled 2.7.1 and only noticed that one of my CPU cores got high usage at a time. Some months back I could see all four cores work hard at a certain point in FPC's compilation (I think when compiling the packages units).

You now also have to add FPMAKEOPT="-T 5". The reason is that the packages are now compiled by fpmake, and GNU make unfortunately has no way to query the value of the -j parameter inside a makefile so it cannot be automatically passed on to fpmake.

Thanks, now it works like before again.

Just for your information: you were told this already five months ago and you also confirmed that you changed your buildscripts. ;P

<Blush> I guess I modified only one script and not all. Since then I have also had 3 development computers and source code moved around a lot from Linux (64-bit)->Windows (32-bit)->Linux(64-bit), so I guess I must have lots those changes somewhere along the lines. I can confirm that this time ALL my build scripts have been updated. :)

Although on unix (Linux, Solaris) it's not too difficult to extract the top-level make command line from ps output; I've not checked but this is presumably also in the /proc tree.
