Build Invocation

There are two main ways of invoking a build in the C/C++ Perspective:

1. From a project: by right-mouse clicking on the project and selecting the Build menu option.
   
   
   
   The invocation that is used to build a Project can be edited, by opening the projects properties:
   
   
   
   
   
   If the Automatic Build Feature is enabled, then this invocation will be run every time a modified file is saved, a file is deleted or created.
   
   
2. From a makefile: After a file has been designated as a makefile you can right click on it, and choose menu option Build
   
   
   
   This will cause a dialog to be shown where you can enter a build command:
   
   
   
   On subsequent builds the same dialog will be shown with a history of past command entries, so you can choose to rerun one of the previous commands or edit any one of them and run the modified command, or enter a totally new command.
