Ninja is a simpler faster replacement for GNU make.
- Update your call to cmake to include an option to force ninja format, eg:
 
cmake -GNinja -static '+cmake_options+'
- Update your build script to use ninja instead of 'make -j#'
 - Update your build script to build out-of-source, so that stupid ninja paths are absolute, so that stupid visual studio code can navigate to build errors. yes this is the current best solution. the world sucks.
 - Learn about CMake complex dependency rules so you can force ninja to build multiple modules in parallel
