A fresh build of a large C++ project taking 1 hour does not sound strange at all.

If that's an incremental build though (i.e. simply rebuilding after changing a few files), there's something very wrong.

FASTBuild has been a game changer for our team recently if you have extra hardware sitting around.

It does if you have an even remotely reasonably specced development machine.

Your org needs better distributed build caching if you can't get that number lower. All builds should be "incremental" with appropriate caching.

Not everyone in the world who compiles a C++ project is necessarily doing so for an "org"
