Use this page to set paths to your directories and conditional defines. The settings on this page affect all the tools on the Project > Options dialog, such as compilers and linkers.

Common items |
- Shared options support all platforms: The options on this page are shared among all the C++ compilers and thus are supported on all the supported target platforms.
Item | Description | Compiler/linker switches |
---|---|---|
BPI/LIB output |
Tells the linker to place bpi/lib output files in the directory specified, if they are generated. This option determines the output folder of the following files: |
N/A |
Conditional defines |
Introduces symbols that are referenced in conditional compiler directives. Use semicolons to separate multiple symbols. For example, you might type: Click to open the Conditional defines dialog box. |
|
Final output directory |
Designates the directory where the final output of the build (such as the executable, OCX or DLL) is to be put. If you do not specify a final output directory, the intermediate output directory is used (described in this table). This option determines the output folder of the following files: |
N/A |
Include path |
Specifies the directories to be searched for include files. This is a set of include paths that are appended to any tool-specific include paths for the project as a whole. Standard include files are those you specify in angle brackets ( |
-I
|
Intermediate output |
Tells the linker to place intermediate output files in the directory specified. Also tells the compilers (dcc, bcc, tasm, brcc) where to put their compiled output; these are normally .OBJ and .RCS files. Currently files that qualify for this placement are the linker state files. The map debug file and TDS debug file are saved in the same directory as the output image, unless otherwise specified for the map debug file. |
N/A |
Library path |
Specifies the directories the linker searches if there is no explicit path given for an .LIB module in the The Library Path option uses the following linker command-line syntax:
The linker uses the specified library search path(s) if there is no explicit path given for the .LIB file and the linker cannot find the library file in the current directory. For example, the command
directs the linker to first search the current directory for SPLASH.LIB. If it is not found in the current directory, the linker then searches for the file in the C:\MYLIBS directory, and then in the .\LIBs directory. However, notice that the linker does not use the library search paths to find the file LOGO.LIB because an explicit path was given for this file. |
