Subject: [CMake] Possiblity to speedup the build by compiling multiple files in 
one compiler invocation

Hi,

I have been asked to look into the possibilities of compiling multiple files in 
one invocation of the compiler like:

armcc.exe ... file1.c file2.c ... fileN.c -o mylib.lib 

The cross compiler we are using requires a license in order to compile the 
file. It is a network floating license mechanism and the majority of the time 
it take to build the code is spent on acquiring the license. Parallel build is 
sadly not an option either since it just requests multiple licenses and we 
quickly run out.

I was wondering if CMake could be directed to somehow do this? or it would 
break some dependency between the source files and the generation of the 
library.

I suspect it isn't possible but would like to confirm this or explore other 
ideas on how to get around this problem.

Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards

Martin Nielsen
