Compiling programs
Descent does not provide a mechanism to compile. However you can configure an external tool to compile. The following steps show how to configure Rebuild to compile a project:
- Select the file that contains the main function and go to Run -> External Tools -> External Tools
- Right click on Program and select New
- Enter "Rebuild" on the name field.
- Enter the path to the rebuild executable in the location field.
- Enter ${project_loc} in the working directory field.
- Enter ${resource_loc} followed by any other argument you wish to supply to rebuild in the arguments field. If you'd like to add symbolic debug information when compiling, enter '${resource_loc} -g'.
- In the refresh tab, check "Refresh resources upon completion" and select "The project containing the selected resource".
- Click the Run button.
The configuration is saved, so you can re-run build later on other files.
