How to pause building with xcode?

I have to compile the UnrealEngine source code which is a huge project and takes a while to build (at least for the first time).

I came up to 160 out of 905 steps in 30 minutes, I presume more or less 2 and a half hours for the whole process.

Is there a way to pause the building process with xcode, or with any IDE / compiler ? I'm on OS X MacBook Pro Retina. i5 processor and the standard Intel Iris GPU.

Solution

  • You cannot pause as such, you have to cancel the build, however any object files built are not removed, so the next time you start a build it will pick-up where it finished.
