Build Pipeline

Last Updated Time: 10/11/2023

Overview​

The build pipeline consists of four stages: Compile, Cook, Package and Run.

  • Compile: This stage compiles the source code into executable code for different platforms.
  • Cook: This stage converts resources from an Engine-specific format to a platform-specific format.
  • Package: This stage packages the project into the platform's native publish format.
  • Run: This stage is to start the project after the packaging is completed.

Currently, there are two packaging methods (Packaging includes all steps of the build here): Editor Packaging and Command Line Packaging.
