See Also
You can use the Options window to configure default settings for your C and C++ projects.
To configure C and C++ project settings:
-
Choose Tools > Options.
-
Click C/C++ in the top pane of the window.
-
Click the Project Options tab.
-
Modify the properties as desired.
You can set the following properties:
-
Make Options. Global options for the make command.
-
File Path Mode. The mode for storing file paths in a project. Always Relative mode
stores paths as relative to project root. Always Absolute mode stores paths as absolute
paths. Auto mode stores paths as relative to project root if inside project, othervise as
absolute path.
-
Save All Modified Files Before Running Make. If selected, saves all unsaved files in
the IDE before running make. It is recommended to leave this property selected because
modifications to files in the IDE are not recognized by make unless they are first saved to
disk.
-
Reuse Output Tabs from Finished Processes. If selected, writes make output to a
single Output window tab, deleting the output from the previous process. If not selected,
opens a new tab for each make process.
-
Enable dependency checking in generated makefiles. Add make state
statements to the makefile.
-
Show binary files in Projects view. If selected, the Projects view shows all files
in a directory tree, including binary objects. This option is most relevant to projects
created with existing sources, which might place sources and binaries in the same location.
Deselect this option to more easily see your C/C++ source files and header files.
