Speed up Your Emerge Times on Gentoo

Video Description

In this video I give you some tips on how to optimize gentoos compilation time so that you can emerge packages faster, as well as rebuild packages with different use flags much faster. Set your MAKEOPTS to your make.conf file according to the number of CPU threads you have (make sure to leave enough CPU threads available if you're going to use your machine while emerging packages) Enable pipe if you sufficient ram (I recommend 2 GB of ram for each CPU thread in your MAKEOPTS) and set O options to 2 (or 3 if you're feeling brave or mostly using packages on gentoos list of packages that support O3) You can also use ccache to cache C and C++ objects for multiple emerges with different use flags, and ofcourse don't use a bunch of redundant packages :D Heres a copy of my make.conf settings since my colorscheme is a little hard to read on video # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically # built this stage. # Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more # detailed example.
