By default, the IDE builds your project only when you tell it to, but it can also build
your project automatically every time you change a file or other resource in any way (e.g.
delete, copy, save, etc.). This feature is optimal when you have projects that are small in
size, or not too many projects open at the same time. However, for best performance with very
large projects, or if you have many open projects, you will want to leave the autobuild
feature disabled. QNX C/C++ projects have their own autobuild setting, separate from the
workspace-wide preference.
To set the autobuild feature for QNX C/C++ projects:
-
Right-click a QNX C/C++ project, then choose Properties from the
menu.
-
On the left, select QNX C/C++ Project, and then select the
Make Builder tab:
-
Enable the Build on resource save (Auto Build) option in the
Workbench Build Behavior area.
-
Click OK to close the project properties dialog and return to
the Workbench.
