Yes, this is all emake does. The reason why we don't leave it up to the |
| 7 |
ebuild authors is that -j2 is optimal for uniprocessors, -j3 for dual |
| 8 |
processors, and -j5 for quad processors. So the -j part needs to be |
| 9 |
definable by the user. It's easier to type: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
emake |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
than |
| 14 |
make $MAKEOPTS MAKE="make $MAKEOPTS" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Also, it's less prone to have syntax errors, and easier to remember. |
