How to set the make jobs used by `geant`? #67

Closed ghost closed 8 months ago

ghost commented 9 months ago

GNU Make and Ninja both has the -j switch to specify the make jobs to be used. I can't find anything equivalent for geant. It seems it will always set the make jobs equals to the number of CPU cores. I think the make jobs should be customizable. I'm building on a VPS where there are 4 cores but only 4GB of RAM. I always got OOM with GCC (and this always happened at the building of gexslt).

There is now a new command-line option --thread for geant. Also, the default is now to use 3 less CPU cores than available (with a minimum of 1 of course).
