It seems (according to kitware https://blog.kitware.com/cmake-building-with-all-your-cores/) that JOM http://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom/jom_1_1_2.zip is the answer to that.

Yet another dependency - yay! With every suggestion on how to get around deficiencies of CMake when it comes to actually build (and test) something things are getting more complicated. From my pov as a (almost daily) tester of both individual Boost libraries and all of Boost in different configurations, and as a Boost distro maintainer, this sounds like a growing nightmare when I compare it to the simplicity and ease-of-use of Boost.Build in those scenarios that I have to deal with. As an end-user, when it comes to consuming Boost libraries I don't care if it is Boost.Build, or CMake, or both, or whatever else because we use neither of them in our team. Ciao Dani
