Editing build descriptor options in the Build Descriptor part

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:
  1. 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.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor. The Build Parts Editor opens the Build Descriptor part automatically; the default view is the General Options view.
  3. 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 Window > Show View > Other; in the Show View dialog box, click to expand General and select Outline.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
