Project base directory, Building the application | ARM Version 1.6

Quick-start Tutorial

4.2.6Project base directory

When the new project setup is complete, your project base directory is updated with the files required to manage your new project. These are the:

•project file tutorial.prj

•build target configuration directories Debug, Release, and DebugRel

•generated makefiles for each build target configuration, for example tutorial_Debug.mk.

Note

The project source files do not have to be in the project base directory, although this is recommended for single-user, self-contained projects.

4.2.7Building the application

If you have the ARM C compiler installed on your workstation, you can now build the application defined by the example project tutorial.prj. If you do not have the compiler installed, you can follow the steps to complete the tutorial but you cannot build an executable.

To build the executable for the example project:

1.Select Tools → Build... from the default Code window main menu.

2.If you have made any changes to the Project Properties, or to the Build-Tool Properties, you are prompted to rebuild all project files.

Click Yes to confirm the rebuild.

The build, or rebuild, completes and RealView Debugger displays the Build tab, in the Output pane, to report successful completion. The Build tab also displays any errors or warnings generated during the build.
