Build Your Project

Once you have created a project and configured the ESP target and serial port, you can build the project by clicking on in the toolbar.

However, the following steps will guide you through the process of building the project if you are new to the IDE:

Select a project from the Project Explorer.
Select Run from the first dropdown, which is called Launch Mode.
Select your application from the second dropdown, which is called Launch Configuration (Auto-detected).
Select a target from the third dropdown, which is called Launch Target. For example, esp32.
Now click on the Build button to start the build process.

Custom Build Directory

The IDE allows configuring a custom build directory for the project:

Select a project and click on the Edit button for the launch configuration in the top toolbar to open the Edit Configuration window.
Navigate to the Build Settings tab.
In the Build folder location section, provide a custom build directory. The customized build directory path can be within the project or in any other location in the file system.
Click on Ok and build the project.

Note

This configuration specifies the location where all the project build artifacts will be generated.
