Hi Petr, VTK exposes the /MP compiler flag in its CMake configuration.
Here is the relevant code from http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD 126 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l126> # Enable /MP flag for Visual Studio 2008 and greator 127 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l127> IF(MSVC_VERSION GREATER 1400) 128 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l128> SET(CMAKE_CXX_MP_FLAG OFF CACHE BOOL "Build with /MP flag enabled") 129 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l129> SET(PROCESSOR_COUNT "$ENV{NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS}") 130 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l130> SET(CMAKE_CXX_MP_NUM_PROCESSORS CACHE ${PROCESSOR_COUNT} "The maximum number of processes for the /MP flag") 131 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l131> IF (CMAKE_CXX_MP_FLAG) 132 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l132> SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /MP${CMAKE_CXX_MP_NUM_PROCESSORS}") 133 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l133> SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} /MP${CMAKE_CXX_MP_NUM_PROCESSORS}") 134 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l134> ENDIF () 135 <http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=CMake/vtkDetermineCompilerFlags.cmake;h=1398050afb34ff8c0a74137d847c19a6f63b12e9;hb=HEAD#l135> ENDIF() Hope that helps, Cory On Wed, Sep 16, 2015 at 11:44 AM, Petr Bena <[email protected]> wrote: > I know that I can pass -j parameter to GNU make as well as there is > some sort of option to run MSVC compiler by hand and give that similar > parameter, but that's not exactly what I want. > > I would prefer a way to get cmake to generate solution files for MSVC > in a way that these options are enabled by default.
