where to set the number for processes for make (-j) ?

Hi,

Where can I set the env variables for the number of processes that make should start (-j)... in ubuntu. It should be something like make.conf, but I cant find it.

I'm confused. Pass the argument to make via -j. The argument tells make how many concurrent targets to run (not processes, there's no way to control that).

Yes sorry, arguments not processes.

So there is no way to set this globaly as an env variable so that it is always used, like in gentoo ?
