Modifying a Project Definition

Modifying a Project Definition

Under certain circumstances you may wish to change information about your project definition. SoftBench allows you to change the name, location, and type of project by choosing "Project: Modify Properties…".

•To change the name of your project enter a new project name. Project names contain regular characters. Control characters, spaces, and punctuation characters special to the shell are not allowed in project names.

•To change the location of your project enter a new local workspace root. You can use the … button to select from a list.

When you change the local workspace root, SoftBench preserves the exact relative path names for files. This allows you to maintain identical subtrees under two different roots for building different product releases. You can just change your local workspace root to point to one, then the other. However, if you try to change your local workspace root to point somewhere further up or down its current hierarchy, SoftBench does not recalculate the relative path names. You can select the files in the project and choose "Modify Properties…" to change the relative path names.

•To change the build type of your project select the "❍ Project Build" or the "❍ External Build" radio button. For external build, enter the build directory and build command. See “Creating a Project Using External Build” on page 52 for complete information.

Changing the build model for a project significantly affects SoftBench's internal representations of your project. All targets are deleted and must be redefined.

•To change the Static database location, enter a directory in the

"Static Database Location" input box. You can use the … button to browse the directory you want.

•To return to the default Static database location, clear the "Static Database Location" input box.
