Intermediate Directory Specifies a relative path to the intermediate file directory; can include environment variables.
Build Log File Specifies the build log file to write to when build logging is enabled.
Configuration Type Specifies the type of output this configuration generates. Dynamic Library (.so) - Dynamic Library (.so)
Static library (.a) - Static Library (.a)
Application (.out) - Application (.out)
Makefile - Makefile
Remote Build Machine The target machine or device to use for remote build, deploy and debug.
Remote Build Root Directory Specifies a path to a directory on the remote machine or device.
Remote Build Project Directory Specifies a path to a directory on the remote machine or device for the project.
