The Define New Target dialog box and the Edit Target dialog box are identical:

• Use the Define New Target dialog box to specify a new Sun WorkShop^TM target.
• Use the Edit Target dialog box to modify an existing Sun WorkShop target.

To open the dialog box you need, 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.

The dialog boxes have the following components:

Directory text box	Type a build directory path, or click the browse button to open a file chooser.
Makefile text box	Type a makefile name (the default file name is makefile), or click the browse button to open a file chooser.
Target text box	Specify a target, or click on the browse button to open the Target Chooser Dialog Box.
Command text box	Type a make command. The default command is dmake.
Name text box	Allows you to assign a name to this Directory, Makefile, Target triple. The name is only used to describe the target on the menu picklist. If you do not assign a name to the target, it appears as <target> target in <directory>:<makefile> makefile on the menu picklist. Assigning a name allows you to distinguish between build targets, especially when there are several build targets in the same directory and makefile. WorkShop generates special project targets: Entire Project builds the all target in the generated Makefile and builds all the targets in the project; Clean deletes all generated files, the source browsing database, the C++ templates database, the executable itself, and other build-related files.
Options button	Click to open the Build Options Dialog Box, which allows you to modify the parameters of a build using the options provided.
Macros button	Click to open the Make Macros Dialog Box, which allows you to add, change, override, or delete macros to be passed into the build.
Environment Variables button	Click to open the Environment Variables Dialog Box, which allows you to add, change, or delete environment variables to be passed into the build.
OK	Applies the build parameters and closes the dialog box.
Build	Applies the build parameters and builds the target.
Cancel	Closes the dialog box without applying changes.
