Makefile Goals in CCSv4

I'm trying to figure out how to run various targets (i.e. goals) when using a standard makefiles within CCSv4.

I'm documenting my observations and questions in the following bullets. Any comments or answers are appreciated.

  • I see that under "Make Builder" for the project's properties that it appears I can associate 3 different goals with CCS's "clean", "build all", and "incremental build" options.
  • If I use the "Outline" view of the makefile, I notice that I can right-click and add a "Make Target" to the project, but I'm not sure how to access or use the make target.
  • I've seen - in the past - a customer execute a target from what looks like the "Outline" view of the makefile. I can't seem to do this from the CCSv4 Outline View of the makefile. Is this a feature of another version of Eclipse; or, was the customer using an Eclipse plugin to be able to execute a rule from the Outline View?
  • Other than executing from a command line are there any easy ways to invoke more than 3 different make targets from within CCSv4?

Thanks,
Scott

    I think you are referring to the "Make Targets" view. You can open it up via: 'View->Other...' then in the 'Show View' dialog, expand 'Make'

    Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

    While I'm not sure why the ".metadata" and ".settings" folders show up in this view, once I've "added" a make target to my project they are easily accessible via this window.

    Thanks Again,
