Re: [MLUG] Multithreaded compile using apt?

[George Robb <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Having the single make.conf really is a strong point of Gentoo (I wish  
they would get their act back together.)

I think the closest to Gentoo you will get is with apt-build:  sudo  
apt-get install apt-build.  There is an initial set of menus that you  
can go through to "turn up" the compile options.

Here is more on it:

(I'm a Gentoo kinda guy but, like you have migrated to Debian since  
the "hiccups" with Gentoo)

Hope this helps,

George
