The following documentation should give you an idea of how CodeQL tries to automatically build your project https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/creating-an-advanced-setup-for-code-scanning/codeql-code-scanning-for-compiled-languages#building-cc

If using autobuild fails then you need to manually supply a build command. See the following documentation for instructions: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/creating-an-advanced-setup-for-code-scanning/codeql-code-scanning-for-compiled-languages#about-specifying-build-steps-manually
