Build a Project

The HighTec toolchain of the given architecture is used to compile, assemble and link all the source code and the libraries associated with your C/C++ project. When you finish the coding and project configuration, you can create an executable binary elf file of it.

These alternatives of the project build actions are available:

Build

Builds the selected project incrementally (files not modified since the last build may be skipped during compilation, leading to a faster build process)

Clean

Removes the intermediate files created during (a previous) builds. See How to clean a Project.

Rebuild

Rebuilds the active project. Builds every file in the project whether or not a file has been modified since the last build. A rebuild is a Clean command followed by a Build command.
