Controlling the Content of the Output Window
It is often useful to display low-level information (such as the command line options that are being applied to a
file) during a build. The HEW allows you to specify whether or not you want such options displayed in the
“Output” window during a build, build all or build file operation via the “Tools Options” dialog.
To view or hide extra information during a build:
1. Select [Tools->Options...]. The “Options” dialog will be displayed.
2. Select the “Build” tab (figure 2.19).
3. Set the three check boxes in the “Show” group as follows. “Command line” controls whether the
command line is shown as each tool is executed. “Environment” controls whether the environment is
shown as each tool is executed. “Initial directory” controls whether the current directory is shown as each
tool is executed.

File Dependencies
A typical project will contain dependencies between files, for example, one C file may “#include” one or more
header files. In complex projects, source files will include (or depend upon) others and this can quickly become
difficult to manage. However, the HEW provides a dependency scanning mechanism whereby all files in a
project are checked for dependencies. Once complete, the project window will display an up-to-date list with all
the project file dependencies.
To update a project’s dependencies:
Select [Build->Update All Dependencies] or click the right mouse button on a project icon in the “Projects”
tab of the “Workspace” window and select [Update All Dependencies] from the pop-up menu.
