quick question about optimizations in /etc/make.conf
Hi!
I'm still learning my way around FreeBSD. I just installed a system with Xorg and GNOME. I am about to rebuild world, and I want to enable the CPU optimizations. I successfully rebuilt world on Gentoo using optimizations, but I took a shortcut and used 'march=native'. I don't know how to find the cpu info on FreeBSD. I remember it was 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' on Gentoo, and I know that I have a single core Prescott CPU that accepts SSE3 instruction. Could somebody get me started on these optimizations? I know people say that the speed increase is negligible, but I notice a huge difference.

See the comments in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for what you can put for CPUTYPE. Beyond setting CPUTYPE, you really shouldn't mess with compiler optimisation flags in FreeBSD. You'll break more things than you'll "fix".

the only changes i made in my make.conf was the cputype and the cflags option which is set to "-O2 -pipe".

Remove your CFLAGS setting. The default includes -O2, and a bunch of others that you just stripped out with your setting.

What are the defaults ?
Cause I've put -O -pipe to my servers (faster compilation than -O2) Thanks.

The defaults are:
-fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -pipe
