Makefile Macros

If you want to use a makefile other than the default makefile (makefile), you did not open or create a project in order to build your code, or you want to use a makefile in a directory other than the build directory, you can use your own makefiles to build your code.

To specify a makefile:

1. Choose Build Edit Target.

2. Select a target from the WorkShop target list.

The Define New or Edit Target Dialog Boxes opens.

3. Type the name of the makefile you want in the Makefile text box or click the browse button next to the Makefile text box to open a file chooser.

To run your build in a directory other than the directory where the makefile resides, specify the full path name of the makefile in the Makefile text box.

4. Click Build to start a build with the settings listed in the dialog box.
