Hello,

In current Upp GNU/Linux tar distribution we have makefile which biggest drawback is that it works in single CPU mode. Therefore, the compilation on multicore environment is relatively slow. So, why don't include "mkfile" and corresponding "configure" file which main goal is to generate makefile for the current machine?

The compilation path should look like this:

configure
make

Instead of simply make command.

At the end I would like to ask, what do you guys think about this solution?

Sincerely,
Klugier
