How can i override default make parameters , which is:
make -w
Each time i create a project , i had to modify project settings , adding -j4
After attempting implement the fix described in the question I eventually found the following (clearly this in only a solution to linux's that use the freedesktop concept of .desktop files):
The line in "/usr/local/share/applications/Nokia-QtCreator.desktop" was:
Exec=/opt/qtcreator-2.5.2/bin/qtcreator.sh %F
I changed it to:
Exec=env MAKEFLAGS=-j16 /opt/qtcreator-2.5.2/bin/qtcreator.sh %F
And got the functionality requested in the question.
Ok, I have no idea why following the instructions in the question I didn't get there but I didn't. I hope this explanation will help someone.
