I ran some parallel makes and it seemed to work fine. On some projects with
inadequate dependency management it can cause trouble, but in emc2 it seems to
work (just like I'd expect).
If you have N cpus on your build machine, try "make -j 2*N" :-)

Kim,
parallel builds allows you to build a project using multiple processes.
If you have 2 CPU cores in your computer, then it's nice you can execute two
c++
processes to compile the source files.
The whole goal is to speed up compiling of a project.
LibreCAD can be build in parallel...
