A software compiling method and apparatus. The method comprises: a service end distributing compiling tasks to one or more clients and this locality (S102), wherein the compiling tasks are the basis of the service end and the one or more clients compiling their respective source codes; after completing the compiling of the source code synchronized to the service end, the service end synchronizing an application library to the one or more clients, and receiving processes sent by the one or more clients (S104); and the service end completing software packaging according to the application library and the processes (S106). The present invention solves the problem of relatively low efficiency in large-scale software compilation in the relevant art, and thus improves the efficiency of large-scale software compilation.
