After you choose Project > Run, the IDE compiles and links the project (if necessary), creates a stand-alone application, and then launches that application.

If the current project is not an executable file, the Run command is not available. Non-executable projects include libraries, shared libraries, dynamic linked libraries (DLLs), code resources, and tools.

When compiling and linking is successful, CodeWarrior saves the new application to your hard disk. The new application is named according to options you set in the Target Settings window. If you would like to change these options, refer to "Choosing Target Settings."

If the current project is designed to operate on another platform, you must connect your host computer to the target computer or device before choosing the Run command. For additional information, see the appropriate Targeting manual for the target platform.
