I wrote this blog post a couple years ago claiming "one way to run a dashboard on windows":
http://cmake.blogspot.com/2012/09/one-way-to-run-dashboard-on-windows.html As with all such things, there are, of course, multiple ways to solve "the problem." At the time I wrote it, I trusted Visual Studio to do its best at building the projects in parallel without passing any explicit flags to do so. If you really need to squeeze out the best build time, but you still want to use the VS compiler, I would recommend setting up an environment for using ninja in conjunction with the VS compiler. If you need more advice than all this once you hit a specific issue, do ask further questions once you have them.
