Dear Windows gurus,

In order to speed up building on Windows it is suggested in the WIKI to use 
jom.exe. This is what the WIKI states:

Microsoft's nmake doesn't support multi-core builds. To enable faster parallel 
multi-core builds, download jom from 
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom , extract jom.exe, put it into 
your path (or copy it to the VS 2017 directories where nmake.exe is located) 
and change your CMake command to use cmake -G "NMake Makefiles JOM" ....

Now my problem is that there are 8 different places where I can find an 
nmake.exe on my machine :-(

:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX86\x86
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\bin\Hostx64\x64
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\bin\Hostx64\x86
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\bin\Hostx86\x64
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\bin\Hostx86\x86
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin
:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64

Since it did not work at the beginning I decided to put jom.exe (and all that 
came with it) in all these places, not elegant but it worked. Can someone point 
me to the correct place (or places)? These paths are not obvious to me.

Also I could not follow the instructions for the batch files but I managed to 
create my own, see my other post.

PS the link to VS 2017 is dead it seems, I used VS 2019 instead from 
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/free-developer-offers/ 
<https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/free-developer-offers/>  maybe someone can 
amend the WIKI?

I would point out that one needs to actively select Desktop development with 
C++ before launching the installation
