A
build descriptor part controls the generation process. To edit the general
build descriptor options and symbolic parameters, do as follows:
- To open an EGL build file with the EGL build parts editor, do as follows
in the Project Explorer:
- Right-click on the EGL build file
- Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
- If the Outline view is not displayed, open that view by selecting Show
View > Outline from the Window menu.
- In the Outline view, right-click on a build descriptor and select Open.
There are three buttons in the upper right corner of the editor view. Make
sure that the Show General Build Descriptor Options button (the button on
the left) is pressed. The EGL build parts editor displays the general build
descriptor options for the current part definition.
- You can optionally create a chain of build descriptors, so that the first
in the chain is processed before the second, and the second before the third.
If you want to begin or continue a chain of build descriptors, specify the
next build descriptor in the nextBuildDescriptor field. If the nextBuildDescriptor
row is not highlighted, click once to select the row, then click the Value
field once to put the field into edit mode. You can type the name of the next
build descriptor in the Value field or select an existing build descriptor
from the drop-down list.
- To specify the generation and preparation of EGL output, select a grouping
of option-and-value pairs from the Build option filter drop-down list.
If the option you want to define is not highlighted, click once to select
the row, then click the Value field once to put the field into edit mode.
You can type the option value, or if a drop-down list is available, select
an existing value. If you want to limit your view of option-and-value pairs
to the ones you have defined, click the Show only options specified check
box.
