Motivation for this change
Building
openjfx11
oropenjfx12
on a machine with many cores can consume huge amounts of RAM. With 24 cores, the memory usage exceeded25GB
per build for me.Using
NIX_BUILD_CORES
to reduce the number of parallel tasks doesn't help, because a script invokingcmake
does not respectNIX_BUILD_CORES
and passes-j <number of cores>
.Setting
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS
overrides the automatic core count detection in the script.Things done
