- Why incremental builds recompile so much?
- What are the major limiting factors for the ON build?
- How do you know how much parallelism to use (on given machine or for a given target)?
- Do unix(es) build in parallel (eg. for sun4u, sun4v, etc)?
- Dependencies
- How are they produced, kept, work, etc.? - * They are kept in .make.state files. See depghrep.pl script in the Tools section.
- Are there known issues? - How does gcc build work?
- Seems like it is done using cw - How does dmake deals with system load?
- According to the dmake source the number of outstanding build processes should not exceed the DMAKE_MAX_JOBS - Load / NCPUs where Load is the 1-minute load average.
