Builds and projects#

These pages explain how the compiler locates source files, optimizes native executables, records the versions used by a build, and reuses cached work. Start with the project manifest if you are setting up an application.

• Project configuration — Set the source directory, entry file, and import paths in ms.toml.
• Build levels — Choose Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, or MinSizeRel.
• Build pins and reproducibility — Record versions and inputs so builds use the intended distribution.
• Build caches — Understand what a build reuses and what it checks again.
