wmakeCollect: Experimental scheduler for wmake to speed-up parallel compilations
wmakeCollect collects the compilation commands for the all of the object files to be compiled into a single makefile which is passed to make to schedule the compilations in parallel efficiently. Before wmakeCollect can be called the lnInclude directories must be up-to-date and after wmakeCollect the linkage stage of the compilation must executed using wmake. This entire process is now handled by wmake using the new '-queue' or '-q' option to compile sections of the OpenFOAM source tree or the entire tree efficiently. The number of cores the compilation executes on may be specified either using the WM_NCOMPPROCS variable or the '-j' option. To efficiently compile OpenFOAM after a 'git pull' the '-update' option is provided which updates lnInclude directories, dep files and removes deprecated files and directories. This option may be used with '-q': wmake -q -update
