The build platform for native developpers

cmake-re at a glance

Easy cross platform with tipi

Truly enjoyable cross platform

Get the build machines you need for your project.
Linux, Windows, MacOS or custom environments for other targets, deployed fast & just for you.

More than just compiling
cmake-re enables borderless cross platform flows by enabling you to do more than builds on the tipi.build build node: run tests, debug remotely, or on your own customer hardware with selfhosted runners.

Cached CMake builds
 

cmake-re is designed for CMake build hermeticity. Run your CMake build locally or remotely and benefit from our caching and remoting technology.

C++ and beyond
Discover the cmake-re caching and cloud platform experience for other languages like Rust and Swift.

Blazing fast cloud builds
 

More power at your fingertip with build machines with hundreds of cores and terabytes of RAM when you need them.

Sized right for your CI
Enjoy builds on machines sized right for your project by building with tipi in your CI workflows: read the documentation

Using cmake-re

Our unique combination of ready made environments, from-source dependency management and automatic-caching backed remote builds for CMake is designed to make building C++ applications at scale a truly enjoyable experience.

Code instead of debugging CMake find_package()

cmake-re eases developers onboarding by providing containerized hermetic builds, with well configured C++ toolchains in minutes. Remotely and on your local machine.

Reuse.

Reusable & Shareable Build Cache

cmake-re is not pretending to be a package manager, instead we complement existing practices in C++ with a powerful build cache. For example we make standard CMake FetchContent() a powerful package management tool by enhancing it through a dedicated provider that binds it with our unique cache technique based on source mirroring and build+install tree compression.

Learn more about our L1 Build Cache

Example

Depending on Boost from Github and pulling the dependency from the cache using cmake-re is as easy as :

Include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(Boost
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git
  GIT_TAG        32da69a36f84c5255af8a994951918c258bac601 # Boost 1.80
  OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Boost)
find_package(boost_filesystem CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(app boost.cpp)
target_link_libraries(app Boost::filesystem)

You can even get SPDX NTIA Compliant Software Bills of Material ( SBOMs ) generated to meet your opensource license compliance goals with :

sbom_add(TARGET app)
sbom_finalize()

Build.

Run local hermetic and --remote builds in seconds, automatic caching included.

cmake-re deploys ready made images to powerful, single user cloud nodes in seconds and runs your build remotely. You can switch the build target easily and even provide your own environment description if required.

Additionally you can also execute your tests and run your application on the remote node to speed up your tests.

Using tipi in your CI pipeline eliminates the gap between developers builds and CI/CD. This bring CI to your fingertips and reduces cost by enabling cache sharing.

Enjoy fast & easy remote CMake Builds with cmake-re

Run a --remote build

Easily build for different remote OSes and toolchains by selecting your environment:

$ cmake-re -S . -B build/linux -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=environment/linux.cmake --remote
...
$ cmake-re -S . -B build/windows -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=environment/windows.cmake --remote 
...
