Title: Multithread compilation with custom makefile
Post by: tipf on October 01, 2015, 02:14:02 pm

Hi,
I'm using Code::Blocks svn build 10122 on Ubuntu with a project file that is generated with CMake. I compile with the 'custom makefile' option. Is there a possibility to activate multi-thread compilation?
I tried settings->compiler->Build options->Number of processes for parallel builds, but it doesn't worked(which mean just one thread is used). Compiling manually with 'make -j4'  works as expected.

Best regards,
Tim

Edit the toolchain setting for the make command.

Or edit the Project settings (tab "Make commands").

Thank you, that was the point. The toolchain option had no effect because the build options used '/usr/bin/make' instead of the global $make variable.
