Description

Build Task

Tasks are defined by the Build Service and encompass a collection of steps that are used to create the Target.  Each Build Task has specific source file dependencies.  When a Target is initially created, the Build Tasks will be automatically populated, but the Build Task file dependencies will be empty.

Build Task File Dependencies

Build Task call an action in the build, passing file names to compilers, linkers, etc.  For this reason, the source code dependency for each Build Task must be entered.  Build Task File Dependencies make the Target unique, defining precisely the files to be used t build the Target.

Option Groups

Option Groups are used to define compile and link flags for the Target.  There are two levels of Option Groups, Standard – define by the Build Service and Custom – unique to the Target.
