The build runs with the maximal jobs ignoring what MAKEOPTS is set to. Reproducible: Always
Can't reproduce at a glance, I have MAKEOPTS=-j6 and while building qt-creator there was 6 compilation jobs: $ pgrep cc1plus | wc -l 6 Not impossible there's a subtask that uses more jobs for a moment, albeit as long as the memory-heavy compilation jobs are respected I doubt I'll look at these even if it exists.
Maybe bug 928346 if any externalproject use as a complete guess.
(In reply to Sam James from comment #2) > Maybe bug 928346 if any externalproject use as a complete guess. Ah, unverified but it's possible the bundled syntax-highlighting:6 did that for a rather small part of the build: src/libs/3rdparty/syntax-highlighting/src/indexer/CMakeLists.txt: include(ExternalProject) Formerly kept bundled given it needs slot 6, but I guess there's not much blocking that anymore with the mask gone and could try using system's next bump. Well, it would require stabling it alongside kf-env-6:6 and extra-cmake-modules-6.3.0 though, kind of minor but maybe unwanted yet. If seen makeopts not respected for a big part of the build rather than just syntax-highlighting there may be something else going on. Otherwise figure I'll close this when it's unbundled.

Seems to be OK now, thank you!
It is? I didn't change anything yet beside a comment.
Either way I assume something else was going on here, the syntax-highlighting bit is too minor to be noticeable unless doing some automatic usage tracking.
I checked again and now it only spawns unlimited moc processes, but the number of C++ compile processes follows the limit.
Ha-ha, it did it again: $ pgrep cc1plus | wc -l 131 But only for a minute and not for the whole build. Looking up the build processes showed it was compiling various plugins at that time.
When staring at CMake's testsuite, I noticed https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_AUTOGEN_PARALLEL.html we could try.
