make

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?

I need to come up with clients that can multicast to other clients reliably. That implies I'll be using TCP to connect reliably between clients within a multicast group. Doesn't that come up to n^2 number of connections? That seems a little silly to me. Wouldn't/shouldn't there be a way to more easily… >>> More
