make -j4 vis make -j2
I have no idea if this is important...
On the home page of the project (https://github.com/hoytech/strfry) the instructions say to "make -j4"
On the deployment page (https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/master/docs/DEPLOYMENT.md) it says "make -j2"
Since 4 is more than 2, I used 4 -- LOL.
Just a small typo in the setup instructions...
Hi! Thanks for letting us know.
The parameter is the maximum number of concurrent processes to use when compiling. In most cases it shouldn't actually make a difference which value you use, except that higher numbers might go faster if you have many CPUs. In examples I usually put a smaller number so that people don't accidentally run out of memory or peg their CPUs.
You can actually just use -j by itself (no number) and it will use an unlimited number.
As people do run out of memory #41 it might be good to run with just one process by default and hint at -j as a way to speed things up?
