If you want to use all available CPU cores for building then you have

to use "drake" instead of "rake". "drake" knows the parameter "-j"

|
||||
much like `make` does. You can also set the environment variable
|
||||
DRAKETHREADS to a number and the build process will automatically use
|
||||
that number of threads for a parallel build:

./drake -j4
