The build descriptor options you set in the build descriptor part
control the debugging and generation processes. You can specify build
descriptor options by following these steps:
- Locate the EGL build file you want to work with in the Project
Explorer view. To find it, open the EGL Source folder, and look for
a file with the extension "eglbld". Double-click the build file to
open it in the EGL Build Parts Editor. The editor opens one of the
Build Descriptor parts in the General Options view. The Build Descriptor
part that the editor opens depends on the type of project you are
working on.
- The Outline view is located by default in the lower left corner
of the workbench. If you do not have the Outline view open, click . The Outline view shows all the Build Descriptor parts
in the build file; the current part is highlighted. Double click any
other part to open it.
- In the General Options view of the Build Parts Editor, a table
on the left lists the available build descriptor options. By default,
the check box next to Show only specified options is
selected. This limits the number of options shown. You can also limit
which options are shown by choosing a target system, or Debug,
from the Build option filter list. If you want
to see all available build descriptor options, clear the Show
only specified options check box and select All from
the Build option filter list.
- To edit the build descriptor option values, click once to select
an option. Click a second time to make the Value field
editable. For options that have specific value settings, the second
click activates a drop-down list of available values. For build descriptor
options that require a string value, the second click opens an editable
field. Some options allow you to enter a symbolic parameter instead
of an actual value.
- Optionally, you can create a chain of different Build Descriptor
parts, so that they are processed in sequence. This allows you to
set some build descriptor options that are valid for many tasks, while
leaving some that can be set for specific tasks or environments. If
you want to create or continue a chain of build descriptors, specify
the name of the next build descriptor in the chain in the Value field
for the nextBuildDescriptor build descriptor
option. Once you have activated the Value field, you can either choose
a build descriptor from the drop-down list or type in the name of
the Build Descriptor part.
