Identifying Compile Commands Using the Build Tool Configuration File

Symptom

If the analysis of build file configuration is involved, the Compile Command may not be the default make or cmake command. You need to identify the compile command in the build file and then input the command.

Reference

• If Build Tool is make, the default value is make. You can also customize a compile command starting with "make". make supports -C and -f parameters. -C specifies the working directory and -f specifies the Makefile. If labels are used in your makefile, you need to identify the compile command based on the used labels.
  • Usually the clean and all labels are used in the makefile. See Figure 1.
    Figure 1 Scenario 1
    

    make clean means to run the compile commands labeled with clean, and make means to run the compile command labeled with all or other associated labels. In this case, you only need to enter make in the Compile Command text box.

  • If you add the mpp label, see Figure 2.
    Figure 2 Scenario 2
    

    make mpp means to run the compile commands labeled with mpp. In this case, you need to enter make mpp in the Compile Command text box. For details, see Figure 3.

• If Build Tool is cmake, the default value is cmake. You can also customize a compile command starting with "cmake". For details about the parameters supported by CMake, see the CMake 3.13.4 user guide on the official website.
