<h1>Building a project</h1>
<p>The make output and build progress information displays in the
Console view. The Make Targets view displays makefile actions, and the
Tasks view displays compile warnings or errors.</p>
<p>To build a project:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the <b>Project Explorer</b> view, select your project. For the tutorial, you can select the <b>HelloWorld</b> project you created earlier. <p><br></p></li>
<li>Click <b>Project > Build Project</b>.
<br>You can also hit the hammer icon <img src="../images/hammer-icon.png"> on the toolbar.
</li>
<p>If you see an error message, such as:</p>
<p><samp> (Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)</samp></p>
<p>then CDT cannot locate the build command, usually <samp>make</samp>.
Either your path is not configured correctly, or you do not have <samp>make</samp>
installed on your system.</p>
<li>You can see the output and results of the build command in the <b>Console</b> view.
Click on its tab to bring the view forward if it is not currently visible.
If for some reason it's not present, you can open it by selecting Window > Show View > Console.
