 |
|
Its now my third time I have installed gentoo...
This time I have installed it on a pentium2 with 450 mhz
My problem is that all compiling take so extremly long time, exept that seems the system work fine.
I think I have done something wrong in the make.conf file, what shall I add?
DMA seems to be activated
Best regards |

| I have an AMD K6-2 450MHz and it took a good six hours for xorg and about 2 hours for making the kernel. If your still worried post your fstab. |

there is a little tip in this thread
| Quote: | 7. Ccache
ccache is an application (included en portage and on by default when emerging (if you emerge ccache)) that acts as a cache for the compiler.
With this little prog we will be able to compile in a faster way when compiling packages, specially with the big make's (you could think that using a cache when compiling has no use, but it speeds up some instructions like the make clean)
Just emerge it and set the default cache size (read the einfo after the emerge), and it will be on by default. You can check it with:
Code:
# emerge info | grep ccache
ccache version 2.3 [enabled]
You can check the ccache stats by doing:
Code:
# ccache -s
|
but just to make sure post your make.conf file! |

| Notice that little RAM (e.g. less than 64MB) will result in heavy swapping for many packages which results in an awesome slowdown of the compile process. |

Here is my make.conf:
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built$
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo"
USE="-gtk - qt dvd oss alsa cdr"
ALSA_CARDS="es1938"
I think I have 128 mb ram
I took a look at that thread you gave me, loki99, thank you. But the links in the CFLAGS section dosn't seems to work  |
