 Note: It is important to understand that at the first compilation, building the project can take a long time, since IDE tries to index the entire source code of the engine, as well as build the modules that are included in the dependencies. In the future, if you do not change the engine code, then the dependent modules will not be rebuilt, which means that the assembly of your project will be faster.
