Setting build options

Once you have added the necessary files to the project, the next step is to instruct the High-performance Embedded
Workshop on how to build each file. To do this, you will need to select a menu option from the Build menu. The
contents of this menu depend upon which tools you are using.

To set options for a build phase

1. Select the Build menu and select the phase whose options you would like to modify.

2. A dialog box will be displayed allowing you to specify the options.

3. After making your selections, click the OK button to set them.

To obtain further information, use the context-sensitive help button or select the area in which you need assistance and
press F1.

Build configurations

The High-performance Embedded Workshop allows you to store all of your build options into a build configuration, i.e.
you can ‘freeze’ all of the options and give them a name. Later on, if you select that configuration, all options for all of
the build phases will be restored. These configurations also allow the user to specify debugger settings for a build
configuration. This means that each configuration can be targeted at a different end platform.

The figure below shows three configurations:

Default

,

MyDebug

and

MyOptimized

. In the first configuration,

Default

, each phase (compile and assemble) is set to its standard settings. In the second configuration,

MyDebug

, each

file is being built with debug information switched on. In the third configuration,

MyOptimized

, each file is being built

with optimization on full and without any debug information. The developer of this project can select any of those
configurations and build them without having to return to the options dialogs to set them again.
