When you are ready to produce a binary file, such as an application, library, or shared library, use the Make command in the Project Menu. This command builds the selected project type by updating the newly-added, modified, and touched files, and then linking the project into a final executable file.

The results of a successful build depend on the selected project type. For example, if the project type is an application, the Make command builds an application and saves that application in the same folder as your project. Table 10.1 lists some sample project types and the resulting files after issuing a Make command. To find a full list of the types of software products you can produce, refer to the Targeting manual for your build target. See "Targeting Documentation" to determine which manual applies to various build targets.

Project Type	Build Target	Make Command Creates
Application	Win32	Win32 Application
Library	68K/PowerPC	Mac OS A4 or A5 Library
Dynamic link library	Solaris	Solaris Shared Library (.o)

Once all the modified files and touched files have been compiled successfully, CodeWarrior links all the files in the project to produce your output binary. If the project has already been compiled using Bring Up To Date or another command, then the Make command only links the compiled source code files together.

You might want to switch between multiple build targets in a project when making that project. Refer to "Setting the Current Build Target" for more information.
