<h1>Creating a make target</h1>
<p>A make target is an action called by the make utility to perform a customized
build-related task. For example, many makefiles support a target named clean,
which is called as make clean. You can call your own target (such as myMakeAction) to be called as make myMakeAction.</p>
<p>You can also use a make target
to pass options such as CPULIST=x86, which causes the make utility to build only
for x86. These options work only if they are already defined in the makefile. </p>
<p>If you have added your own make targets, you can configure the CDT to call them
specifically. For more information, see <a href="cdt_t_proj_build_set.htm">
Defining build settings</a>.</p>
<p>To create a customized make target:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the C/C++ Projects view, right-click a project, and select <b>Create Make
Target</b>.</li>
<li>In the <b>Target Name</b> box, type the name of the make target.</li>
<li>In the <b>Build Target</b> box, type a build target.</li>
<li>Select one of the following:</li>
<ul>
<li><b>Stop On Error</b> to stop the build when an error is encountered.</li>
<li><b>Keep Going On Error</b> to continue the build even if an error is
encountered.</li>
</ul>
<li>Select one of the following:</li>
<ul>
<li>Select the <b>Use Default</b> check box to use the default make command.</li>
<li>Clear the <b>Use Default</b> check box to use a different make utility to build your project and
enter your own command in the <b>Build Command</b> box.</li>
</ul>
<li>Click <b>OK</b>.</li>
<p>The target option is added under the <b>Build Make Target</b> menu item on the C/C++
Projects view context menu.</p>
<p>You can view the output of the make
utility in the C-Build view.</p>
