Filename extensions

Specify the filename extensions for the types of files that are to be processed by the custom tool. You can type several filename extensions. Use commas, semicolons, or blank spaces as separators. For example:

.htm; .html
Command line

Specify the command line for executing the external tool.

Output files

Specify the name for the output files from the external tool.

Additional input files

Specify any additional files to be used by the external tool during the build process. If these additional input files, dependency files, are modified, the need for a rebuild is detected.

Build order

Specify where in the build process to execute the external tool. Choose between:

Automatic (based on input and output)

The time of execution will be calculated automatically by the build engine.

Run before compiling/assembling

The tool will be executed before the compiler or assembler.

Run before linking

The tool will be executed after the compiler or assembler, but before the linker.
