Electric Make (eMake) distributes build jobs in parallel to a cluster of nodes to automatically execute a build faster than with a sequential build. Electric Make is compatible with GNU Make, Microsoft NMAKE, Symbian’s Make variant, Ant, and Visual Studio.

Examples and use cases
In this example we are going to use the Electric Make plugin to compile execute defined task in a Makefile just as GNU Make would do it.
-
Lets create a simple Makefile with a single task called "sayHello"
-
Now we are going to create a procedure and fill in the parameter form:
-
Run the procedure and see results:
