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". Right-click on the build file
to open the pop-up menu.
- From the pop-up menu, select . The Build
Parts Editor opens the Build Descriptor part automatically; the default
view is the General Options view.
- If you have the Outline view open, you will see the Build Descriptor
part listed under the name of your build file; double click the part
to open it. If you do not have the Outline view open and want to open
it, select ; in the
Show View dialog box, click to expand General and
select Outline.
- In the General Options view of the Build Parts Editor, there is
a table on the left listing 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 drop-down list next to "Build option filter". If you want to see
all available build descriptor options, clear the check box next to
"Show only specified options and choose "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 will activate
a drop-down list of available values. For build descriptor options
that require a string value, the second click allows you to enter
the 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.
