ARM Version 1.6

Quick-start Tutorial

4.2.6 Project base directory

When the new project setup is complete, your p roject base directory is update d 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.

4.2.7 Building 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.
