Abstract: In this work, we discuss methods for identifying build requisites, and describe their strengths and weaknesses. The buildography tool is presented that provides logging of the build process by tracking system calls. An estimate of the time spent on build process using the buildography tool is given.

Keywords: compilation database, build interception, ptrace.
