\pard\keep\keepn\nowidctlpar\s2\li-1440\sb400\sa60\sl-340\slmult0\cf1\fs28 Description\par
\pard\nowidctlpar\li360\sb200\cf2\b0\fs18 Build.exe is the master command line (CLI) tool that provides the developer with a single command for selecting various options of a build.  In general, it checks the environment variables, gets the user\rquote s configuration from either the CLI or target.txt, parses the dsc, dec, inf, target.txt, tools_def.txt, generates .C, .H files and the Makefiles for one or more modules and/or the active platform, calls a make (NMake or make) program to process these Makefiles, then optionally calls GenFds to generate an fd file.\par
The build tool supports two kinds of path specifications on command line - an absolutely path or a relative (to the WORKSPACE environment variable) path \endash  in command line.\par

Don\rquote t use this option if your \ldblquote make\rdblquote  tool doesn\rquote t support \lquote -s\rquote . Instead, if your \ldblquote make\rdblquote  tool uses other option to do the same, you could add it to the XX_XX_XX_MAKE_FLAGS in tools_def.txt.\par
