Chapter 5. Building the Tutorial Project
The tutorial project build settings have been pre-configured in the tool-chain options. To view the tool chain options select the ‘Build’ menu
item and the relevant tool-chain. This should be the first option on the drop down menu.
The dialog that is displayed will be specific to the tool-chain selected.
The Configuration pane on the left hand side will exist on all the
tool-chain options. It is important when changing any setting to
be aware of the current configuration that is being modified. If
you wish to modify all build configurations this is possible by
selecting ‘All’ from the ‘Configuration’ drop down list.
•
Review the options on each of the tabs and
‘Category’ drop down lists to be aware of the
options available.
Note: For the purposes of the tutorial, leave all
options at default.
When complete close the dialog box by clicking <OK>.
5.1. Building Code
There is a choice of three shortcuts available for building the project.
1.
Selecting the ‘Build All’ tool bar button.
This will build everything in the project that has not been excluded from the build. This includes the standard library.
2.
Selecting the ‘Build’ tool bar button.
This will build all files that have changed since the last build. The standard library will not be built unless an option has been
changed.
3.
Pressing <F7>
This is equivalent to pressing the ‘Build’ button described above.
•
Build the project now by pressing <F7> or pressing one of the build icons as shown above.
During the build each stage will be reported in the Output Window.
The build will complete with an indication of any errors and warnings encountered during the build.
