| <h1>Defining build settings</h1> |
| |
| <p>The <b>Make Builder</b> page lets you:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Configure how the CDT handles make |
| errors.</li> |
| <li>Change the default build command.</li> |
| <li>Map the target passed to make when you select build or rebuild.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>You can define the properties on a per project basis in the New Project |
| wizard, in the C/C++ Projects view or in the Navigator view. You can also define |
| project properties in the Preferences window for future make projects.</p> |
| |
| <p>Before you begin</p> |
| |
| <p>In order to be able to turn on or to turn off the feature that automatically performs |
| an incremental build of your project every time a resource is saved for |
| individual projects, you need to enable the Workbench preference. You can then |
| disable this feature or change the associated make target for individual |
| projects.</p> |
| |
| <p>To enable build on resource save:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</li> |

| resource is saved, select <b>Workbench</b> from the list.</li> |

| resource modification</b> check box.</li> |
| <p>You can now enable or disable this feature on a per project basis.</p> |
