Configuring C and C++ Project Settings
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 Miscellaneous in the left pane of the window and expand the
C/C++ Projects node.
-
Modify the properties as desired.
You can set the following properties:
- Default Platform. The default platform to use when
creating new projects. You do not usually have to change this property.
- Default Compiler Collection. The default compiler collection
to use when creating new projects.
- Code Assistance. The compiler settings (include directories and macro
definitions) for the built-in parser.
- Compilers. The compilers to support in project configurations.
- Make Command. The make command to use when building projects.
- 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.
