How does GNOME Builder work?

I don’t understand the workflow inside GNOME Builder. How are the dependencies being managed? Where is the build folder? Where is the resulting executable? What are the commands that are run when I click on Build? What does the environment look like during compilation and execution? How does Flatpak play into all of this? What is the integration between the IDE and Flatpak? It’s all a bit confusing and Google hasn’t been helpful. Are there any meaningful resources on this?

Hello vishalsubramanyam!

Where is the build folder?

I think the build folder is located in the folder where the sources of your project are. This folder is _build.

Where is the resulting executable?

Click on the arrow next to the “Build Project” button, then on “Configure Project”. See the different configurations to know where your project will be installed.

What are the commands that are run when I click on Build?

Click on Build and see the output?

What do you want to know exactly? Maybe you can explore Builder and see?
