https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12465 <p> Currently ./b2 --help doesn't mention -j; one has to ./b2 --help-options, which is described as "Print more obscure command line options". </p> <p> Almost everyone has multi-CPU system these days (even in their phones!). Building Boost on one CPU would be a mistake. Maybe Boost.Build should default to using multiple processors. Failing that, the -jN option should be considered an "important" option and be mentioned more prominently. Wanting to use multiple CPUs is not "obscure" any more. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12465 Trac 1.4.3
