With GNU Make, you can use the -j command-line option to have
Make execute several commands at once, like this:
+ gmake -j 2
+
+ (With versions of GNU Make before 3.82, you need also set the
+ XMFLAGS variable, like this:
+
gmake -j 2 XMFLAGS="-j 2"
- The XMFLAGS variable overrides the default behavior of GNU Make
- on Windows, whereby recursive Make invocations reset the maximum
- number of simultaneous commands to 1. The above command allows
- up to 4 simultaneous commands at once in the top-level Make, and
- up to 3 in each one of the recursive Make's.
