  • 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.
