Configuring Build Tools for C/C++/Fortran Projects

See Also 

The IDE uses the build tools (compilers, debuggers, make utility) that are installed on your system, or on a remote system that you set up as a remote build host. The IDE looks for installed compilers debuggers, and make utility on your path. You cannot work with C, C++, or Fortran projects without these build tools. If the IDE does not find your compilers, you can configure build tools to show the IDE where to find them.

You can use the Options window to configure build tools for your C/C++/Fortran projects. The options that you specify are used by default for all new C/C++/Fortran projects.

To configure build tools:

  1. Choose Tools > Options.
  2. Click C/C++ in the top pane of the window.
  3. Click the Build Tools tab.
  4. Modify the properties as desired.

You can set the following properties:

To display the versions of all of the selected tools, click Versions.

To restore all of the tool selections to the defaults, click Restore Defaults.

To set the build tools properties for a specific project, right-click the project and choose Properties.
