Perhaps I need to clarify. It's a very large project with many directories and interdependent libraries. So he is starting a make in one library, and then working on a program in another subtree of the same project, and running a make there.
Since the entire project shares just one large build tree out-of-source, both compiles share the same CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles/*. This is not a case of "parallel" makes (-j N) started from one directory. Thanks, ..chris On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 10:22 AM, Rolf Eike Beer <[email protected]> wrote: > Am Mittwoch, 24.
