# Building your project

Make output and build progress information is displayed in the Console view. The Make Targets view displays makefile actions. The Tasks view displays compile warnings or errors.

To build your project:

1. In the C/C++ Projects view, select the HelloWorld project.
2. Click Project > Build Project.

If you get the error message:

`Exec error:Launching failed`

This error message means that the CDT cannot locate the build command, usually `make`. Either your path is not configured correctly or you do not have `make` installed on your system.
