You can view the output of the make utility in the console.</p> <p><img src="../images/console_build.png" alt="Sample build in console view"></p> <dl> <dt>Incremental Builds</dt> <dd>To incrementally build all open projects, you can select <b>Project > Build All</b> or type <b>CTRL+B</b>.</dd> <dt>Build Individual Projects</dt> <dd>To build individual projects click <b>Project > Build Project</b>.</dd> <dt>Rebuild Projects</dt> <dd>To rebuild a project right click on the project and select <b>Rebuild Project</b>.<br> <b>Note: </b>This will rebuild projects that this project references as well, but will not rebuild projects that references this one.</dd> <dt>Build Automatically</dt> <dd>This performs a Build All whenever any project file is saved, such as your <tt>makefile</tt>. <br> <b>Tip: </b>For C/C++ projects, this feature should be turned off. If there is a checkmark beside <b>Build Automatically</b> the feature is on. To turn it off, select <b>Build Automatically</b>.</dd> </dl> <p><b>Tip: </b>If you get the error message:</p> <p><samp>Exec error:Launching failed</samp></p> <p>then CDT cannot locate the build command, (usually <samp>make</samp>). Either your path is not configured correctly or you do not have <samp>make</samp> installed on your system.</p> <p><b>Tip: </b>The menubar item <b>Project > Build Working Set</b> submenu for C/C++ projects simply creates a link to the build all target as defined in your makefile, and is no different from an <b>Incremental Build</b>.</p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngconcepts.gif" alt="Related concepts" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_build_over.htm">Build overview</a></p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngtasks.gif" alt="Related tasks" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="cdt_t_proj_build_set.htm">Defining Project Build settings</a><br> <a href="cdt_o_build_task.htm">Building projects</a></p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngref.gif" alt="Related reference" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_newproj_buildset.htm">Make Builder page, C/C++ Properties window</a></p> <img src="../images/ng00_04a.gif" alt="IBM Copyright Statement"> </body> </html>
