ImageMagick compication (or recompilation) can take a substantial amount of time.
Useinstead ofto make (re)compilation of ImageMagick (or anything else, for that matter) less painful on a CPU with multiple (logical) cores.
For example, with an Intel i5, use. "5" is used because i5 chips have 4 logical cores. So, (number of logical cores) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5.
Use
Code: Select all
make -j(number of logical cores + 1)Code: Select all
