Starting a Build

The build directory is the directory from which the build process is run. It is also the default directory for the makefile. Change the build directory for a particular Sun WorkShop^TM target in the Define New or Edit Target Dialog Boxes.

If you do not specify a build directory, Sun WorkShop either tries to build in the directory currently entered in the build directory field or displays an error message in a pop-up window.

To specify a build directory:

1. Choose one of the following commands:

• Choose Build Edit Target. Select a WorkShop target from the list. The Edit Target dialog box opens.

• Choose Build New Target. The Define New Target dialog box opens.

2. To choose a directory, do one of the following:

• Type the directory name you want in the Directory text box.

• Click the browse button next to the Directory text box to open a file chooser.

3. Click Build.
