Description Nicolás Alvarez 2014-09-06 18:55:14 UTC 
Without any configuration, trying to compile on Windows/MSVC from KDevelop gives an error when running "nmake -j2", because nmake doesn't support parallel builds, and thus doesn't have a -j option.
KDevelop shouldn't pass the -j option when the build tool is nmake.

Fixed.

    Don't append -k and -j flags to command line when we are using nmake.
    Select default make tool based on which platform we are, not the compiler we using.
    On windows first try "make" (extremely rare), then "mingw32-make" and then "nmake".
