Default MAKEOPTS doesn't work in make.conf
I've added following lines into make.conf
Code:
MAKEOPTS="-j8"
But it doesn't work.

Tested on:
Code:
> sudo portupgrade -f mtr
Code:
> sudo portupgrade -f sl
Why?
It's a bug or feature?

P.S. Could find anything in: man make.conf

make.conf(5) doesn't say anything about MAKEOPTS

I thought I've heard about this option, but wasn't sure.
Now I remember, I've been using it myself on GNU/Linux Gentoo

In FreeBSD's /etc/make.conf that would be
Code:
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=8
At least for ports, I don't think that affects other source.

Pattern not found  (press RETURN)
Why is not documented or where it's?

Read /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

And found thousands of examples in Google.

How it's possible that it doesn't work and even that half of the people have it in make.conf?
They all are wrong?

Code:
# Multiple make jobs support
.if defined(DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS) || defined(MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE)
_MAKE_JOBS=             #
.else
.if defined(MAKE_JOBS_SAFE) || defined(FORCE_MAKE_JOBS)
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER?=      `${SYSCTL} -n kern.smp.cpus`
_MAKE_JOBS?=            -j${MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER}
.if defined(FORCE_MAKE_JOBS) && !defined(MAKE_JOBS_SAFE)
BUILD_FAIL_MESSAGE+=    "You have chosen to use multiple make jobs (parallelization) for all ports.  This port was not tested for this setting.  Please remove FORCE_MAKE_
JOBS and retry the build before reporting the failure to the maintainer."
.endif
.endif
.endif
That mean you need to define MAKE_JOBS_SAFE or FORCE_MAKE_JOBS, to define MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER?

Why don't you just read the remarks?

Code:
##
# MAKE_JOBS_SAFE
#                               - This port can safely be built on multiple cpus in parallel.
#                                 The make will be invoked with -jX parameter where X equals
#                                 number of cores present in the system.
# MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE
#                               - Disallow multiple jobs even when user set a global override.
#                                 To be used with known bad ports.
# DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS
#                               - Set to disable the multiple jobs feature.  User settable.
# FORCE_MAKE_JOBS
#                               - Force all ports to be built with multiple jobs, except ports
#                                 that are explicitly marked MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE.  User settable.
# MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER
#                               - Override the number of make jobs to be used.  User settable.

I've added into make.conf
Code:
FORCE_MAKE_JOBS=yes
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=8
There is a nice make.conf:

Yep. Linuxisms are like kudzu.

Or English Ivy, if you're a Pacific Northwesterner like me. Forever climbing up the trunks of our trees and threatening to bring them down with all its extra weight. You should yank it out wherever you find it!

We must all be vigilant in order to preserve our ecosystems. Use only native plants ... and native BSD commands.
