hello gentooers. I have installed gentoo on my openmoko gta02 with |
| 2 |
good results, and i am using the native approach because the cross |
| 3 |
compiling way seems too much complicated and much less fun.. Anyway |
| 4 |
the 400 Mhz processor is really slow for compiling and i decided to |
| 5 |
setup the distributed compilation with distcc, and it works well |
| 6 |
ewithoutu much effort. The remaining problem is that each package |
| 7 |
configure phase is very slow, i think because of the slow disk access |
| 8 |
(it must read/write on the microsd card..). |
| 9 |
so, is there any tested way to speed up everything? i used ext3 for |
| 10 |
the partition filesystem, so i think that is slowing down everything.. |
| 11 |
i think that a ramdisk is very difficult to use because the device |
| 12 |
have got really small ram (120 Mb!), so maybe a network filesystem |
| 13 |
could do? |
| 14 |
another option seems to be an autotools capability of using a |
| 15 |
centralized cache file, and there was a portage feature "confcache", |
| 16 |
but it seems to have been removed for incorrect behaviour.. anyone |
| 17 |
know something about or has got good results with autotools caching? |

thanks for any reply |
