How to set the build output path for the final executable

<< < (3/3)

frithjofh:
not necesary to try...

when it is built already, changing the settings wont automagically trigger a rebuild when you hit the build button... it will just do nothing, because it is already built.

if you want a new built with new settings, then hit the rebuild button.

imho if or if not a change of settings should automatically trigger a rebuild implies way too much complexity in the overall process. better leave that as is

msdobrescu:
No, I say something else.
I change the settings > build (when I say "build" means I press one of them and it starts building, consider pressing the right button from your point of view, e.g. rebuild button) > it builds (e.g. re-builds as you name it). But it doesn't use the new settings until I close C::B and it asks to save the project and I re-open C::B again.

raynebc:
When I change my project's target executable name and hit build, it creates the new executable without having to re-open the IDE or rebuilding the entire project.  This is working as intended.  Why don't you list all the build options you've changed?  It's likely that some of them require a rebuild of the project to take effect, and that would almost certainly be by design.
