For instance:
I have a program that is made in several C++ files:
file_a.C
file_b.C
file_c.C
The normal behaviour of make is to launch a gcc (compiler) process at a
time
If I run make -j 2 then make will have 2 active gcc process running until
completition.
Note that this this 2 "active process " are not the same each time...
I found also useful the -j 2 flag on my monoprocessor (P166 + IDE) PC
regards,
Ulisses
