Here is another thread that has some important information about exactly what
versions
of gmake and others to use.

If that's the only path to parallel builds with CMake on windows, it
seems like a very significant weakness.
For a UNIX hacker like myself, it certainly seemed this way initially.
I did change my mind though, after a while. My reasoning
is that VC just turns out to be the predominant build tool
on Windows today and has ended decades of fighting with
UNIXoid make tools on a platform that requires its own
way. Microsoft made it quite possible to use VC for
builds exclusively by improving support for command-line
builds over the years.
Among open source libraries supporting windows, there
are, in my mind, two categories. One is using vcbuild.
The other one uses mingw and autoconf/make. Just guess
which of the two made a more polished and integrated
impression on me...
