Defining Targets for External Build

As part of SoftBench's support for the external build model, you can create targets and save the command to initiate your build:

1.Choose "Target: New…" to display the "External Build Command" dialog box shown in Figure 2-9.

Figure 2-9 "External Build Command" Dialog Box

2.Enter the build directory, build command, target name, and options for a target.

3.Select Save as Target. This adds the target to the project file set, saves its build instructions, and allows you to bypass this dialog box in the future.

4.Repeat as necessary to define all of the project's targets, then select Close to close the dialog box.

Now you can build this project or individual targets within it as described in “Building Projects and Targets” on page 70.

When you use external build, your Makefile or build script contains the knowledge of how to build your targets. You must manually edit the appropriate file whenever the build instructions change.

To edit your Makefile or build script:

1.Add the Makefile to the project file set by choosing "Project: Add File(s) to Project…".

You can add Makefiles to projects using the file types mechanism if
