Running Builds Quick Start

• Visual Studio IDE:

  • In Visual Studio, click Extensions > Incredibuild > Rebuild Solution.

  • Run a build twice. The first build populates the Build Cache, the second build demonstrates the acceleration you will see when a build is already in the cache.

• Visual Studio CMD:

  • Instead of the MSBuild command, use the Incredibuild BuildConsole command:

    BuildConsole <solution> /cfg=<configuration> /rebuild /openmonitor

    For example:

    BuildConsole MySolution.sln /cfg="Debug|Win64" /rebuild /openmonitor

  • Run the build twice. The first build populates the Build Cache, the second build demonstrates the acceleration when a build is already in the cache.

• Make/Ninja:

  • Instead of make or ninja, use the Incredibuild BuildConsole command:

    BuildConsole /command="<original make/ninja command>" /openmonitor

    For example:

    BuildConsole /command="make --file=makefile.mak -B" /openmonitor

  • Run the build twice. The first build populates the Build Cache, the second build demonstrates the acceleration when a build is already in the cache.
