## Faster builds for development
Normally all tools of the ClickHouse bundle, such as `clickhouse-server`, `clickhouse-client` etc., are linked into a single static executable, `clickhouse`. This executable must be re-linked on every change, which might be slow. One common way to improve build time is to use the 'split' build configuration, which builds a separate binary for every tool, and further splits the code into several shared libraries. To enable this tweak, pass the following flags to `cmake`:
```
-DUSE_STATIC_LIBRARIES=0 -DSPLIT_SHARED_LIBRARIES=1 -DCLICKHOUSE_SPLIT_BINARY=1
```

## Faster builds for development: Split build configuration {#split-build}
Normally ClickHouse is statically linked into a single static `clickhouse` binary with minimal dependencies. This is convenient for distribution, but it means that on every change the entire binary is linked again, which is slow and may be inconvenient for development. There is an alternative configuration which creates dynamically loaded shared libraries instead, allowing faster incremental builds. To use it, add the following flags to your `cmake` invocation:
