Description:   Opened: 2004-02-17 04:05 0000 
The Gimp has a compile-time option to enable some optimisations for SMP
systems.
(configure --with-mp)
I've been running gimp versions 1.3through 2.0preX with this enabled without
any problems.
Would it be possible to add this as a USE flag? The ebuild even has a FIXME
suggesting such additions. I suggest either a new "smp" local flag, or the
existing "threads" USE flag for this.

Attached a small patch which does this for the 2.0pre3-r1 ebuild

Reproducible: Always

I think this came up before and some devs argued that this should be detected
at compile time, this should be re-discussed. Using the threads flag is a bad
idea i think.

adds local "smp" USE flag 2.2.6-r1

This one works with the 2.2.6-r1 ebuild.  I don't think the --enable-mp option
is auto-detected.  I used EXTRA_CONF for this before.  This would be a usefull
flag to have on the gimp or even as a global now with the advent of dual core
cpus.

I'm closing 9 bugs at once, since these bugs should be fixed in my 2.2.7 ebuild
of the gimp.  ( just committed to the unstable tree ) If you find that your bug
was not fixed in the 2.2.7 ebuild, please open a new bug with what it is or is
not still doing.

Thanks for the attachments and comment, they helped!
