Run a Targeted Build (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

In many situations, you do not have to run the complete build process. By using a targeted build, you can save time by building specific directories or subprojects.

To run a targeted build on a directory or subproject

  • In Solution Explorer, right-click the item, and then click Build.

Note that to have these changes represented in the final image, you must rebuild the image.

To manually rebuild the image

  • On the Build menu, click Make Run-Time Image.

You can set the image to rebuild automatically (so that you no longer have to run it separately).

To enable automatic image rebuilding

  1. On the Build menu, click Targeted Build Settings.

  2. Select Make Run-Time Image After Building.

You may want your targeted builds to include debug messages.

To enable debug binaries for targeted builds

  1. On the Build menu, click Targeted Build Settings.

  2. Select Always Build Debug.
