Thanks for your replies. I understand that I can only 'cmake --build' one target at a time.<br>
I think that the solutions you propose do not benefit from tools, like ninja, that have parallel build capabilities.<br>
<br>
I'll file a feature request.<br>

<br>
You can only 'cmake' a single-target. If you want to have more targets, create more directories: for each target one.<br>
