Build rules

Build rules are used to compile each file in a project.

Global and Project build rules can be modified. New build rules can be created.

Build rules are grouped into the following hierarchy:

Project - If relevant build rule found under Project, it is used. See Building and linking programs.
Specific - If no relevant build rule is found under Project, then relevant build rule under Specific is used.
Global - if no relevant build rule is found under Project or Specific, then relevant build rule under Global is used.
Default - if no relevant build rule is found under Project, Specific, or Global, then relevant Default build rule is used.

Only one build rule can be active for a specific file type.

Access the Build Rules dialog using Tools > Global setup > Edit Build Rules, Tools > Specific setup > Edit Build Rules or right-click on the Project view and select Edit Build Rules.
