3.3.4.1 Build Options

Figure 3-38. Build Configuration

In the Build tab page, you can configure whether you want to use an external Makefile for your project. In that case, click the Use External Makefile checkbox and browse to select the correct path of the makefile.

Build Commandline will be provided to the external makefile when invoking a build for the project. The default build target is 'all'.

Clean Commandline will be provided to the external makefile when invoking a clean for the project. The default clean target is 'clean'.

Besides the external makefile configuration, you can also specify the type of application to build. The options are Executable or Static Library, which can be selected using the Artifact Type combo box.

Note: Custom makefile must fulfill these conditions:
  1. Target name must be the same as the project name.
  2. Makefile and target must exist in the same folder (can be referenced with NTFS links too).
