2.4. Building the Application

To build a Nios® V project in the RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs, right-click the project name and click Build Project. Depending on the speed of the host machine, the build process can take a minute or two for a simple project, while building a complex project takes longer. You can monitor the build status using the progress bar. During the build process, you can view the build commands and command-line output in the Eclipse Console view. The following message appears in the Console view when the build process is complete.

If the project has a dependency on another project, such as a BSP or a user library, the IDE builds the dependency project first. This feature allows you to build an application and its BSP with a single command.
