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.
  3. If you see the error message:

    Exec error:Launching failed

    then 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.
