-J# compiling option for retropie installs/updates?
-
In RetroPie, is there a config option where I could put compile flags that it could use for all package install and updates?
This way I could use the -J option so it uses all of my CPU's cores?

@chemdream Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (knowing which platform for example would help me answer).
By default on a PC all cores are used. However on the RPI only 2 are used on the rpi2/3 due to memory limits.
you can override this with MAKEFLAGS.
sudo MAKEFLAGS="-j4" ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh -
Sorry, I thought I did. But that was in another post.
That said, compiling on a threadripper 2990WX with -J80 is almost hilarious. :-)
