About:
Octobuild is a compiler cache designed specifically for Unreal Engine development. It accelerates build times by caching the results of compilation tasks, such as shader and C++ compilations. This significantly reduces iteration time for developers working on large-scale Unreal Engine projects.
|
Key Features:
- Caches Unreal Engine shader compilations (e.g., HLSL to SPIR-V/GLSL)
- Supports C++ compilation caching via a local server
- Distributed compilation support for team environments
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
|
Use Cases:
- Reducing shader compilation times during Unreal Engine development
- Speeding up C++ build processes for large game projects
- Sharing compilation results across a development team
|
Alternatives:
-
ccache
– ccache is a general-purpose C/C++ compiler cache but lacks native support for Unreal Engine shader pipelines which Octobuild specializes in.
-
Incredibuild
– Incredibuild is a commercial distributed build system focused on Windows/MSVC, whereas Octobuild is an open-source alternative with broader platform support.
