 |
|
Good day, Gentoo users.
I wanted to ask a small question, just to satisfy my curiosity. If you change your settings while emerge is compiling something, does this change take place immediately? Say, you go into make.conf and add -Wall to CFLAGS, for whatever reason. Will you immediately begin to see every warning? Or will it only be effective for all emerge processes initiated after the configuration change? And anyways, is it really a good idea to do so?

Hi,
From here :
| Quote: |
make.conf (and package.* files) generally is only parsed during the initialization of portage. However there are a few cases where emerge reinitializes itself (like when portage itself is updated) which would cause make.conf to be reparsed.
|
So, I think that changes to make.conf in the middle of a running emerge process will not be applied until next emerge call or sys-apps/portage update. |
