How to compile on multiple cores using mingw inside QTCreator

Question

I have a quad-core i7 CPU on my windows desktop. I am trying to get mingw32-make to compile using as many core as possible. I have added -j8 into the \"Make Arguments\" fiel

Answer 1

The issue is that the original make does not have jobserver support. So the mingw32 port didn't have it either. It has since been added however. I believe the oldest version with 'correct' jobserver support is 3.82.90. You can find that at the link below.
