Use these settings to configure how Unity builds your application for the Linux platform. You can update your Linux platform build settings from the Platform Settings section of the Build Profiles window.

Property

Description

Development Build
Include scripting debug symbols and the Profiler in your build. Use this setting when you want to test your application. When you select this option, Unity sets the
DEVELOPMENT_BUILD
scripting define symbol. Your build then includes preprocessor directives that set
DEVELOPMENT_BUILD
as a condition.
For more information, refer to Platform dependent compilation.
Autoconnect Profiler
Automatically connect the Unity Profiler to your build. For more information, refer to Profiler.
Note: This option is available only if you select Development Build.
Deep Profiling
Allow the Profiler to process all your script code and record every function call, returning detailed profiling data. For more information, refer to Deep Profiling.
This property is available only if you enable Development Build.
Note: Enabling Deep Profiling might slow down script execution.
Script Debugging
Attach script debuggers to the Player remotely.
This property is available only if you enable Development Build.
Wait for Managed Debugger
Make the Player wait for a debugger to be attached before it executes any script code.
This property is visible only if you enable Script Debugging.
Compression Method
Specifies the method Unity uses to compress the data in your Project when it builds the Player. This includes Assets, Scenes, Player settings, and GI data.
  • Default: On Windows, Mac, Linux Standalone, and iOS, there's no default compression. On Android, the default compression is ZIP, which gives slightly better compression results than LZ4HC. However, ZIP data is slower to decompress.
  • LZ4HC: A high compression variant of LZ4 that is slower to build but produces better results for release builds. For more information, refer to BuildOptions.CompressWithLz4HC.
