Targets	Starting a Build

The Build menu in the Main Window provides the following commands:

Build Project	Starts Building a Project (compiles and links the source files). If there is no project open, use the New Target command to build using an existing makefile. See the makeprd man page for the availability of building projects on the command line using a script or cron file.
Stop Build	Stops the build.
New Target	Opens the Define New Target dialog box, where you can specify a target you wish to build by entering parameters (see Define New or Edit Target Dialog Boxes).
Edit Target	Displays a submenu listing previously specified Sun WorkShop targets. Selecting a target from the list opens the Edit Target dialog box in which you can modify the target specification (see Define New or Edit Target Dialog Boxes).
Show Building Window	Opens the Building Window, where you can build a project, specify a new target, or edit an existing target.
Sun WorkShop target list	Displays a list of previously specified Sun WorkShop targets. When you create a project, the project adds Entire Project and Clean to the target list. When you select Entire Project, you are asking to build all the targets in the project; when you select Clean, you are asking to delete all generated files (for example, the .o files), the source browsing database, the C++ templates database, the executable itself, and other build-related files.
Remove Targets From Menu	Opens a dialog box where you can select and remove one or more targets from the Sun WorkShop target list.
