At the time you create the project you choose both the compiler and the
kind of output.
A wide variety of compiler and linker options may be selected by first
highlighting a project in the Navigator pane and selecting Properties
from the Project menu. First use the popup near the top of the
window to select the configuration for which you are choosing options.
Then use the Tool Settings tab in the lower pane to access the
compiler and linker options. When the header for a section is
highlighted, the command and its options are shown in the panes to the right.
Any options not found in the other categories that are provided can
be entered in the "Command Line" category.
The output filename and extension are specified in the Build Settings tab.
Project dependencies are specified after selecting "Project References" in the
left-hand pane.
