Dear Toralf, The jobs option was introduced in response to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-18414
You can fine tune that in the Projects > Build & Run > Build > Build Steps. It should also be possible to add a smaller jobs option (e.g. -j2) to the MAKEFLAGS variable so new projects use that. > If I have 4 jobs with 4 cores, that can mean all of them are > saturated, and the system becomes completely unresponsive. I only have this problem if I specify more jobs than available cores. Best regards, André Am 09.02.22 um 11:13 schrieb Toralf Lund:
I'm using Qt Creator on a system that has 4 CPU cores. It seams like that means "make" will always be run with argument "-j4". Is there a way I can change the number 4 to something smaller? Where does the option come from anyway? A problem I have is that certain compile or link steps will use all the capacity of one core, and parallel jobs typically start on separate cores. If I have 4 jobs with 4 cores, that can mean all of them are saturated, and the system becomes completely unresponsive. Meaning I have to just sit and wait for the build to finish, while I prefer to run it "in the background" (even if it it takes longer that way) and continue to work on something else. OS is CentOS Stream 8. - Toralf _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qt-creator
