If you're using makefile project. Simply add '-j n' (n specifies the concurrent job number) into your make parameter.

open 'project properties' -> 'C/C++ Build' -> 'Behavior'(page label) -> 'Build (incremental build'(edit box)

e.g. change it to '-j 3 all', will tell make to compile 3 files at same time.

Of course, make will detect file dependencies to decide whether the files can be compiled at same time.
