Shadow Build
-
Hello,
What is the difference between building with shadow build checked and unchecking shadow build? Can testcases be built with checking the option of shadow build?@Anita The difference is that if shadow build is activated you will get a build directory outside of your project source directory where all build artefacts will be (such as your executable). This has several advantages:
- Your source tree is not polluted with build artefacts (especially useful when using CVS)
- You can build for different targets with different configurations without destroying your other builds (each configuration will have its own build directory)
- You can easily do a complete clean rebuild: simply delete build directory and build
Tests work with shadow build also.
