Understanding Projects

Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench

	Understanding Projects
	Projects are the fundamental work unit in SoftBench. Projects consist
	of a named set of ﬁles that produce a set of related targets using one or
	more sets of build instructions and dependencies.
Figure 1-2	SoftBench Tools Interacting with Project and Files

The critical parts of a project deﬁnition are:

Project Name The logical name for the project.

Local Workspace Root The root directory of the ﬁle system hierarchy under which all your source ﬁles are found, and where editing and building take place. The project does not have to include all the ﬁles under the hierarchy, and ﬁles in the hierarchy can be used in different projects if desired.
