Build & Compile

Strategies for building code and resolving dependency issues.

Build System Detection

Check for build files in order:

• Makefile → make (read it first to understand targets)
• CMakeLists.txt → cmake -B build && cmake --build build
• pyproject.toml / setup.py → pip install -e .
• package.json → npm install && npm run build
• Cargo.toml → cargo build --release
• go.mod → go build ./...
• No build system → compile directly (gcc, g++, rustc, etc.)
