Optimizing IL2CPP build times Project build times can be much longer when building a project with IL2CPP . However, there are several ways to reduce the build time significantly:
Use incremental building
When using incremental building, the C++ compiler only recompiles files that have changed since thelast build. To use incremental building, build your project toa previous build location (without deleting the target directory).
Exclude project and target build foldersfrom anti-malware software scans
You can improve build times by disabling anti-malware software before building your project. (Testing by Unity Technologies found that build times decreased by50 – 66% after disabling Windows Defender onafreshWindows10installation.)
Store your project and target build folderonaSolidStateDrive (SSD)
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have faster read/write speed, when compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDD). Converting IL code to C++ and compiling it involves a large numberofread/write operations. A faster storage device speeds up this process.
