I am having a project with multiple libraries and unit-tests (applications). From time to time depending on the change I am getting in situation where almost every unit-tests application needs to be linked. I would like to avoid running too many link processes since it does not seam to perform very well. At the same time I do want to use the multi-thread option for the rest of the targets.

What will be the easiest way to do that. Can I use SEMAPHORE variable? How I can apply it to all the targets from a type (in my case - executable)? Can I specify semaphore value different than the default '1' - in my case 2 or 3 linking threads will still be ok.

Thanks,

George
