Parallel compilation problem

[Brian_Francis]

Hi,

We've just upgraded from XE 12 to 16. Still using Visual Studio 2010. Installation was a breeze. Great job.

Previously when compiling projects containing hundreds of files, they would be compiled simultaneously in large groups and my 6 core CPU was maxed. Now they are compiled one after the other and my CPU load is minimal. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

Thanks,
Brian.

The setting should be Fortran > General > Multi-processor compilation > Yes. This was not a default. If this is on and it's not working for you, please attach a zip of the buildlog.htm from the build.

Thanks Steve, I found the setting. It is currently set to "Off" in my project files. Why isn't the default "On", which would match the behavior I had before installing 16? I hope you're not going to tell me to go edit hundreds of vfproj files!

The default has always been off, as far as I know.

Checking my vfproj files I can see that at some point in the past I manually added /MP to the Fortran > General > Command Line > Additional Options. This setting is still there, but it is now being ignored.
