Create a build configuration

The build configuration settings for the project enable you to specify settings that are passed to the Compiler, including pre- and post-build events, and additional library and resource files. This tutorial requires that your project is enabled for debugging.
Note: The following options are all on by default; this topic is just designed to point out where to find them.
  1. Right-click your project in the COBOL Explorer view and select Properties.
  2. Click Micro Focus > Build Configurations > COBOL.
  3. Ensure New Configuration [Active] is selected.
  4. Check Enable configuration specific settings.
  5. Set Compile for debugging to Yes.
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Click Micro Focus > Build Configurations > Link.
  8. Set Output Path to New Configuration.bin.
  9. Set Target Type to Single Executable File.
  10. Click Apply and Close.
