[Insight-developers] Parallel builds with CMake?

[David Cole]

CMake generates makefiles that are capable of parallel build with "-j N"
flags to make...

ParaView, VTK and ITK all should work with -j N.

It is possible to write CMakeLists.txt code that causes problems with
parallel builds, but they are generally sorted out rather quickly because
*everyone* uses -j N to build these days.

If you are having problems with parallel make, then details about the
specific problem (what version of compiler / make / cmake, and the
copy/pasted error message) would be helpful in order to help you...


Thanks,
David C.
