Anyone received their new MacBook Pros today?

For anyone that comes by later, you can dramatically speed up compilation times by either:

  1. Using the Homebrew version of Erlang
  2. Using the KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS from the Homebrew formula.

I used:

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="
      --disable-debug \
      --disable-silent-rules \
      --enable-dynamic-ssl-lib \
      --enable-hipe \
      --enable-shared-zlib \
      --enable-smp-support \
      --enable-threads \
      --enable-wx \
      --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1) \
      --without-javac
      --enable-darwin-64bit \
      --enable-kernel-poll \
      --with-dynamic-trace=dtrace \
      "

my thinking is that --enable-darwin-64bit is doing the heavy lifting
