Variables
Portage is very cutomizable. Because of this, many variables are available to configure /etc/portage/make.conf. Below is an example make.conf file showing some of the variables that can be used to customize portage. The format of a line of this file is usually VARIABLENAME="variable arguments".
/etc/portage/make.conf - example make.conf variablesCFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nouveau" MAKEOPTS="-j2" USE="mmx sse" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"
Note
Portage has built-in check for CPU's cores and enables MAKEOPTS automatically, if not set. In make.conf you may increase or decrease the value, when needed, otherwise it's set to -j(core number)
Below is a list of variables that can be used in make.conf, along with a description of what they do. For more information on these and other variables, read man make.conf.
