If you're willing to trade off (much) longer build time for a later
faster git you can also do a profile feedback build with
- $ make prefix=/usr PROFILE=BUILD all
+ $ make prefix=/usr profile
# make prefix=/usr PROFILE=BUILD install
This will run the complete test suite as training workload and then
which is a few percent faster on CPU intensive workloads. This
may be a good tradeoff for distribution packagers.
+Alternatively you can run profile feedback only with the git benchmark
+suite. This runs significantly faster than the full test suite, but
+has less coverage:
+
+ $ make prefix=/usr profile-fast
+ # make prefix=/usr PROFILE=BUILD install
+
Or if you just want to install a profile-optimized version of git into
your home directory, you could run:
- $ make PROFILE=BUILD install
+ $ make profile-install
+
+or
+ $ make profile-fast-install
As a caveat: a profile-optimized build takes a *lot* longer since the
git tree must be built twice, and in order for the profiling
