Concurrent compilation

The concurrent compilation feature allows you to specify number of processes to compile the project.

To enable the concurrent compilation for a project:

  1. In the CodeWarrior Projects view, right-click the project folder.

    A shortcut menu appears.

  2. Choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

    The Properties for <project> dialog appears.

  3. Select C/C++ Build from left pane of the Properties for <project> dialog.

    The C/C++ build properties appear in the right pane of the Properties for <project> dialog.

  4. Click the Behaviour tab.

    The C/C++ build behavior properties appear under the Behaviour pane in the Properties for <project> dialog.

  5. Select the Enable project specific settings checkbox.

    The Enable parallel build checkbox is available.

  6. Select any one of the following options.
    • Use optimal number of jobs
    • Use parallel jobs
    • Use unlimited lobs
    Note: CodeWarrior Power Architecture does not support using parallel jobs. For this reason, the Use parallel jobs option is not available in the latest versions of the CodeWarrior Development Studio for Power Architecture Processors.
  7. Click Apply.
  8. Click OK.

You have now specified number of processes to compile the project.
