Send Feedback

The options on the Build Project menu provides a variety of options for projects in your workspace, such as building a project independently of your OS design.

This menu contains build commands and flags that modify these commands, resulting in more flexibility when determining the settings for a build.

This functionality is similar to the functionality available in a command-line prompt build window. The results of a build depend on the settings that you choose, and can vary widely.

You can customize the settings for a build according to your needs by first selecting the build flags you want to set, then selecting a build command to begin the build.

For more information about these options, see Advanced Build Project Menu Options.

The following build options are available.

Command Description
Build All Projects Use to build modified files in all projects in your workspace.
Note   By default, this option does not recompile files that have not changed in the active project. This can cause build errors that appear during future rebuilds. To prevent this, if you have changed the settings for your project, before performing a build, select Clean Before Building.
Build Current Project Use to build the modified files in the active project.
Note   By default, this option does not recompile files that have not changed in the active project. This can cause build errors that appear during future rebuilds. To prevent this, if you have changed the settings for your project, before performing a build, select Clean Before Building.
Sysgen Current Project Use to link all files in the active project.
Build and Sysgen Current Project Use to build and link all files in the active project.

The following flags are available on the Build Project menu.

Command Description
Clean Before Building Select to delete intermediate and output files and then build the active project and all project dependencies.

Select this option when you make changes to a project.
Make Run-Time Image After Build Select to run the Make Binary Image Tool after the build process completes. The tool creates a run-time image from the release directory after the build process completes.

To enable faster debugging, do not select this option.

For more information, see Make Binary Image Tool.
