You can begin a build without specifying a build command, makefile, or target in the Define New or Edit Target Dialog Boxes (see Building With Default Values), or you can specify a build command, makefile, or target (see Specifying Your Own Build Values).

To run a single build job, make sure the directory shown in the Directory status field in the Building window is the build directory you want. If no build directory is displayed or if you want to change directories, see Specifying the Build Directory.

To start a build, use one of the following methods:

• In the Building window, choose Build Build.

The Sun WorkShop^TM programming environment parses the makefile in the current build directory and starts the build process.

• Select a Sun WorkShop target from the list at the bottom of the Build menu.

The build process begins. If the target was selected from the list in the main window, the Building Window opens.

• Click the Build button in the tool bar.

Sun WorkShop parses the makefile in the current build directory, opens the Building window, and starts the build process.
