New C/C++ Project With Existing Sources Wizard: Pre-Build Action

See Also 

The New C/C++ Project With Existing Sources wizard enables you to create a project using an existing makefile. When you select the Custom mode, you must make selections to determine how the project is configured.

In the Pre-Build Action page, you can specify if you build your project using a custom command or script, a non-default configure script, cmake, or qmake.

If you build your project with a makefile or configure script that already is present, click Next to continue to the Build Actions page.

If you want to specify a different build process, select the checkbox Pre-Build Step is Required and make selections for the fields below.

Note that if your project uses QMake or CMake, you must first install them separately because they are not included in the IDE.

The Preview panel shows the command that the IDE will run based on your input.
