It accepts two arguments, `-j` and `-l`, which are used if +possible (`-l` does nothing with msbuild). A `-j` or `-l` value < 1 lets the +backend decide how many threads to use. For msbuild this means `-m`, for +ninja it means passing no arguments. + +```console +meson builddir --backend vs +meson compile -C builddir -j0 # this is the same as `msbuild builddir/my.sln -m` +``` + +```console +meson builddir +meson compile -C builddir -j3 # this is the same as `ninja -C builddir -j3` +``` + +Additionally `meson compile` provides a `--clean` switch to clean the project. + +A complete list of arguments is always documented via `meson compile --help` |
