Autosaving on a build

You can let the CDT save modified files whenever you perform a manual build. The files are saved before the build is performed so that the latest version of your files is built. You can view the output of the make utility in the Console view.

To save resources before manual builds:

  1. Click Window > Preferences.
  2. Select Workbench from the list.
    Workbench Properties options window
  3. On the Workbench page, select the Save automatically before build check box.
  4. Click OK.

The CDT will now save your resources when you build a project.
