From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I decided to yay resolve-davinci but it takes a WHOLE DAY to build(Building CXX object). Why? I have Ryzen 7 1700x and its usage is only up to 25%

You can set MAKEFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf to something like "-j8" (where "8" should be something like the number of cores you have or maybe number of cores minus one or two if you want to leave some CPU capacity available.

However, the build instructions for a specific package can override these defaults. You'd have to look at the resolve-davinci package files to see if it does that for some reason that might be important.

Better yet, use ~/.makepkg.conf to avoid setting it system wide and use MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)" to have it automatically detect how many processes to use.

Thanks! It was only 2 cores by default :)

Pretty sure what you were actually compiling was qt5-webkit, which davinci-resolve depends on, and yeah its a bitch of a compile without multi-threading.
