Change the Build Tool Version

2.5 Change the Build Tool Version

You can change the version of the build tool (compiler package) used in the project (main project or subproject).

Select the build tool node on the project tree and select the [Common Options] tab on the Property panel. Select [Always latest version which was installed] or the version in the [Using compiler package version] property in the [Version Select] category.

Figure 2.47

[Using compiler package version] Property

Remark 1.

When the build tool used in the main project and subprojects is the same, you can collectively change the build tool version by selecting all of the Build tool nodes and setting the property.

Remark 2.

If you have selected a compiler package that has not been installed (e.g. if you open a project created in another execution environment), then that version is also displayed.

Remark 3.

If the options change depending on the compiler package, then the display of the build tool's properties will change according to the selected version.
Properties that are hidden when the version is changed are saved in the project file's settings, and the values will be reproduced when the properties are displayed again.
Options are changed in accordance with the following rules. Information about changes is displayed in the Output panel.

-	If you change from an older version to a newer version, the option settings will be inherited and converted (only if necessary).

-	If you change from a newer version to an older version, only identical option settings will be inherited. Options that only exist in the older version will be set to the default values.
