And build the ROM with `make -j4`.

# Faster builds
|
||||
|
||||
After the first build, subsequent builds are faster. You can further speed up the build:
|
||||
|
||||
## Parallel build
|
||||
|
||||
This significantly speeds up the build on modern machines.
|
||||
|
||||
By default `make` only runs a single thread. You can tell `make` to run on multiple threads with `make -j`. See the manfile for usage (`man make`).
|
||||
|
||||
The optimal value for `-j` is the number of logical cores on your machine. You can run `nproc` to see the exact number.
|
||||
|
||||
$ nproc
|
||||
8
|
||||
|
||||
If you have 8 cores, run:
|
||||
|
||||
make -j8
|
||||
|
||||
`-j` on its own will spawn a new thread for each job. A clean build will have thousands of jobs, which will be slower than not using -j at all.
|
||||
|
||||
## Disable the dependency scanning
|
||||
|
||||
If you've only changed `.c` or `.s` files, you can turn off the dependency scanning temporarily. Changes to any other files will be ignored, and the build will either fail or not reflect those changes.
