No. Just as with cmake-generated solutions, you can build those on the command line using msbuild or devenv, the one used by cmake depends on the cmake version. You can even use cmake itself to trigger the right build command for those. Parallel building must be enabled by hand when using msbuild. For devenv, the setting from the IDE is used.
