10 <h1>Building Manually</h1> |
|
11 <p>Manual builds let you choose the scope of a build, as well as |
|
12 options for building, or rebuilding projects. You can view the output |
|
13 of the make utility in the console.</p> |

|
17 <dt>Incremental Builds</dt> |
|
18 <dd>To incrementally build all open projects, you can select <b>Project |
|
19 > Build All</b> or type <b>CTRL+B</b>.</dd> |
|
20 <dt>Build Individual Projects</dt> |
|
21 <dd>To build individual projects click <b>Project > Build Project</b>.</dd> |
|
22 <dt>Rebuild Projects</dt> |
|
23 <dd>To rebuild a project right click on the project and select <b>Rebuild |
|
24 Project</b>.<br> |
|
25 <b>Note: </b>This will rebuild projects that this project |
|
26 references as well, but will not rebuild projects that references this |
|
27 one.</dd> |
|
28 <dt>Build Automatically</dt> |
|
29 <dd>This performs a Build All whenever any project file is saved, |
|
30 such as your <tt>makefile</tt>. <br> |
|
31 <b>Tip: </b>For C/C++ projects, this feature should be turned off. |
|
32 If there is a checkmark beside <b>Build Automatically</b> the feature |
|
33 is on. To turn it off, select <b>Build Automatically</b>.</dd> |
|
34 </dl> |
|
35 <p><b>Tip: </b>If you get the error message:</p> |
|
36 <p><samp>Exec error:Launching failed</samp></p> |
|
37 <p>then CDT cannot locate the build command, (usually <samp>make</samp>). |
|
38 Either your path is not configured correctly or you do not have <samp>make</samp> |
|
39 installed on your system.</p> |
|
40 <p><b>Tip: </b>The menubar item <b>Project > Build Working Set</b> |
|
41 submenu for C/C++ projects simply creates a link to the build all |
|
42 target as defined in your makefile, and is no different from an <b>Incremental |
|
43 Build</b>.</p> |
