Creating a makefile

If you have created a Standard Make C/C++ Project, you need to provide a makefile.

When you build a project, output from make is displayed in the Console view. Makefile actions are displayed in the Make Targets view.

To create a makefile:

1. In the C++ Projects view, right-click a project, and select New > File.
   
2. In the File name box, type makefile.
3. In the list of projects, verify that the correct project is selected.
4. Click Finish.
   
5. The C/C++ editor opens. Type makefile instructions in the C/C++ editor.
   
6. Click File > Save.
