Hey, I am trying to setup a new job that uses make as the build tool. I want to use the "-j" option to spawn several parallel jobs. The problem is that the "-j" doesn't seem to have any effect on the speed. Based on the job log file, it does not appear that multiple process are running in parallel. If I manually run "make -j" in the workspace, it's obvious that multiple jobs are running in parallel because the output is intermixed and the CPU utilization for all cores is pegged.
I've looked through environment variables, tried a using both shells to run make, tried running the job in both slave and in Jenkins and looked online, but have not found any information on the issue. Does anyone have any ideas about running parallel jobs using make in Jenkins on Windows? Thanks.
