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

| <dl> |
| <dt>Incremental Builds</dt> |
| <dd>To incrementally build all open projects, you can select <strong>Project |
| > Build All</strong> or type <strong>CTRL+B</strong>.</dd> |
| <dt>Build Individual Projects</dt> |
| <dd>To build individual projects click <strong>Project > Build Project</strong>.</dd> |
| <dt>Rebuild Projects</dt> |
| <dd>To rebuild a project right click on the project and select <strong>Rebuild |
| Project</strong>.<br> |
| <strong>Note: </strong>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 <span class="typewriter">makefile</span>. <br> |
| <strong>Tip: </strong>For C/C++ projects, this feature should be turned off. |
| If there is a checkmark beside <strong>Build Automatically</strong> the feature |
| is on. To turn it off, select <strong>Build Automatically</strong>.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| <p><strong>Tip: </strong>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><strong>Tip: </strong>The menubar item <strong>Project > Build Working Set</strong> |
| 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 <strong>Incremental |
| Build</strong>.</p> |
