The goal of this change is to standardize the usage of make in Fedora. All make invocations in spec files that don't use the install target will be modified to use the %make_build macro, and all make invocations that use the install target will be updated to use the %make_install macro. Any additional arguments to make that are not included in either the %make_build and %make_install will be preserved. | |||
The %make_build macro enables parallel make builds using the -j option. In case a package does not build correctly with parallel make, then the the %_smp_mflags macro will be redefined in the spec file, like this: | |||
%global _smp_mflags -j1 | |||
