| <p>The make output and build progress information displays in the |
| <a href="../reference/cdt_u_console_view.htm">Console</a> view. The <a href="../reference/cdt_u_make_targets_view.htm">Make Targets</a> view displays makefile actions, and the |
| <a href="../reference/cdt_u_problems_view.htm">Problems</a> view displays compile warnings or errors.</p> |
| <h2>To build a project:</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view, select your project. For the tutorial, you can select the <strong>HelloWorld</strong> project you created earlier. <p><br></p></li> |
| <li>Click <strong>Project > Build Project</strong>, or click the build icon <img src="../images/hammer-icon.png" alt="build icon"> on the toolbar. |
| <br><br><p>If you see an error message, such as:</p><br> |
| <p><samp> (Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)</samp></p><br> |
| <p>then CDT cannot locate the build command, usually <samp class="typewriter">make</samp>. |
| Either your path is not configured correctly, or you do not have <samp class="typewriter">make</samp> |
| installed on your system.</p><br><br></li> |
| <li>You can see in the <strong>Console</strong> view the output and results of the build command. |
| Click on its tab to bring the view forward if it is not currently visible. |
| If for some reason it's not present, you can open it by selecting <strong>Window > Show View > Console</strong>. |
