I have a package that takes about 20 minutes to compile which tends to prolong the compile/test/compile cycle. Does anyone know how to get R CMD check or R CMD INSTALL to use parallel make? I looked at R CMD INSTALL --help, but I don't see anything obvious arguments to do this. Thanks, Whit
parallel build for package? (equivalent of make -j8)

Platform? Does MAKE="make -j8" R CMD INSTALL ... not work? (Beware: Here there be Tygers. Parallel makes have their surprises....)

linux, x86-64. omg, MAKE="make -j8" R CMD INSTALL works beautifully. Thanks for making me see the light. Cheers, Whit On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 12:29 PM, Peter Dalgaard
