Developers searching for an open-source build system for Windows, Linux and OS X

About FASTBuild

FASTBuild is a high-performance, open-source build system for Windows, Linux and OS X. It supports highly scalable compilation, caching and network distribution. From the largest studios in the world to the smallest independent developers, FASTBuild is used in production every day to develop for PC/Mac/Linux, Consoles, Smartphones and retro systems. FASTBuild gives you all the tools you need to speed up your builds, allowing for improvements of 10x or more over other build systems. FASTBuild was designed from the ground up to support parallel compilation. The highly optimized main build pipeline is designed to be as thin as possible, dispatching build tasks to worker threads to maximize parallelism. FASTBuild has no artificial dependency bottlenecks like those present when compiling with Visual Studio/MSBuild. Unlike Visual Studio, FASTBuild is able to precisely manage the number of CPU cores used during a build avoiding excessive idle spots or excessive context switching.
