Building a project

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

To build a project:

1. In the C/C++ Projects view, select your project. For the tutorial, you want to select the HelloWorld project.
2. Click Project > Build Project.

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.
