If an automatic build of code for a compiled language within your project fails, you can try {% ifversion codeql-no-build %}changing to the manual build mode or {% endif %}removing the autobuild step from your {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} workflow and adding specific build steps. If you're not already using advanced setup, you'll need to enable it first to create a workflow you can edit.
