JOB_POOLS — CMake 3.5.2 Documentation

# JOB_POOLS

Ninja only: List of available pools.

A pool is a named integer property and defines the maximum number of concurrent jobs which can be started by a rule assigned to the pool. The `JOB_POOLS` property is a semicolon-separated list of pairs using the syntax NAME=integer (without a space after the equality sign).

For instance:

    set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY JOB_POOLS two_jobs=2 ten_jobs=10)

Defined pools could be used globally by setting `CMAKE_JOB_POOL_COMPILE` and `CMAKE_JOB_POOL_LINK` or per target by setting the target properties `JOB_POOL_COMPILE` and `JOB_POOL_LINK`.

Build targets provided by CMake that are meant for individual interactive use, such as `install`, are placed in the `console` pool automatically.
