Hello
There is no easy way of doing that. You need a make utility and then you need to write a make file to build the application.
You can use GNU make utility without any problem.
Once you are there you have 2 solutions:
1- Build from batch (DOS command window) and use the IDE only for debugging.
2- Build and debug from the IDE.
You can create a project using the "External Build Wizard".
You can specify the command used to build the application through the Make utility
when you create the project.
But in both cases you need to create a make file first and look for a make utility.
I hope this helps.
