The problem is it takes lot of time(20-30 minutes) to build our application.
There are around 5000+ files and the code is divided into various subsystems, which can be built independently. Each subsystem has its own makefile.
My question is: Is it possible to create a thread for each makefile so that all the subsystems are built in parallel and subsequently run a makefile to merge them all?
If it is possible, how to proceed about it?
