Is it somehow possible to be able to have a parallel build no matter which build tool is used?
Under Unix we can add make -jN
where N are the number of threads, and under Windows I added to the CXX_FLAG "/MP"
which is then used in Visual Studio to parallel build...(?) How can I make my version such that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
is not always extended when I run CMake?
What is a general solution?
I came up with this:
# Add some multithreaded build support
MARK_AS_ADVANCED(MULTITHREADED_BUILD)
set(MULTITHREADED_BUILD 12 CACHE STRING "How many threads are used to build the project")
if(MULTITHREADED_BUILD)
if(${CMAKE_GENERATOR} MATCHES "Unix Makefiles")
message(STATUS ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL})
set(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM "${CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM} -j${MULTITHREADED_BUILD}")
message(STATUS "Added arguments to CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL: ${CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM}")
elseif(MSVC)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /MP")
message(STATUS "Added parallel build arguments to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS: ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}")
endif()
endif()
随着CMake的3.12,这是可能的。 从发行说明:
所述“cmake的(1)”的构建工具模式获得(“cmake的-build”)“ - 平行[]”和“-j []”选项以指定并行构建级别。 它们映射到相应的原始构建工具的选项。
编辑:正如@dkg提到你也可以设置环境变量CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL
。

如果你有cmake
v2.8.8或更高版本,你可以使用ninja
作为替代GNU make
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ..
ninja # Parallel build (no need -j12)
要么
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ..
cmake --build . # Parallel build using ninja
正如你所看到的,没有必要使用CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
,构建并行默认情况下运行,优化取决于可用的CPU内核的作业数。
ninja
是基于低级JSON配置以加速启动阶段。 因此它的JSON配置是不容易手工编写和我使用的高级工具/ IDE总是产生的:
- CMake的v2.8.8 (2012)
- Qt Creator的V2.6 (2012年)
- KDevelop的V4.6 (2013年)
- ...看到的发电机
ninja
配置在https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/wiki/List-of-generators-producing-ninja-build-files
由于C ++建立往往需要大量的内存,您的计算机必须提供尽可能多的内存CPU内核的数量。
你可以这样做跨平台的。 该-jN选项是一个参数,使,而不是生成的Makefile的一部分。 但是,你可以有CMake的生成运行make使用-jN(其中的脚本查找核心的你有号码)项目中的bash脚本。
我已经定下心来写parallelmake.sh
脚本Unix Makefiles
