[CMake] Pparallel build on multiple directories?

[Alexandre Feblot]

So, I downloaded and recompiled the latest gmake (3.81).

I works much better indeed.

I should have remembered: never work with obsolete tools...

 

 

By the way, what about parallel builds with nmake makefiles ?

 

Thanks,

gmake parallel makefiles should work.  However, it is possible to create


a project that will not work for various reasons.  These reasons involve


custom commands that generate the same files from different targets.  In


that case it is too much parallel building.  I am not aware of gmake not


working in parallel at all on any system.  Sounds more like a gmake 

install problem.
