Building a C or C++ Project

See Also 

When you build a C or C++ project, the IDE calls the corresponding target in the project's makefile. The IDE compiles the source files and generates the build output, such as make messages and compiler messages in the Output window.

Some of the error messages that the compiler generates are underlined. If you double-click an underlined message, the editor highlights the source code that caused the error.

You can build the main project and all of its required projects, or build any project individually.

If the tools required to build the project are not in the Tool collection specified for the project, the Resolve Build Tools dialog box opens. Resolve the missing tools and click OK.
