Building and Packaging Modern C++
summary
Shows concrete build recipes: use CMake + Ninja for fast incremental builds, set compiler launcher to plug in ccache (benchmarks claim up to ~150x for repeat compiles) and share its cache on network storage; run distributed compilation with icecream (Mozilla reports cutting build time by ~75%); manage reproducible toolchains with Nix, package binaries with Conan or CPack/AppImage and run linters/formatters in pre-commit hooks for gated checks.
