FYI, the mechanism using gcc is -j<n>, where <n> is the number of threads. On my 8 proc Mac, I use "-j16", assuming 2 threads per proc should be OK in light of disk usage; OSG (minus wrappers) compiles in less than 5 minutes. (Bob Kuehne taught me this - thanks, Bob.)
Thanks for the /MP tip. I've always found it frustrating that VS can build multiple independent projects in parallel, but was incapable of parallel compiles within a project. -Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of sherman wilcox > Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 2:34 PM > To: OpenSceneGraph Users > Subject: [osg-users] faster builds on multiproc systems - > Visual Studio 2005& 2008 > > This is sort of off-topic but I'm sure interesting to the > community none the less.
