Build before run

I read in this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1005 ... h-codelite that there is a setting to automatically build a project before running it (i.e. "Run Active Project" toolbar button).

However I cannot find the setting for this anywhere.

The "Start or Continue Debugger" does do a build before starting but I don't always want to use the debugger.

codelite has an option (enabled by default) to prompt for "build before debug"
it has no option for "build for run"

To start debug, just hit "F5"
If codelite does not offer to "build" then it means that you probably check the "don't ask me again" checkbox when you first saw this dialog.
To re-active this dialog, you need to change you answer to the that dialog, to do so:

"Settings -> global editor preferences -> Dialogs"

and tick the option "Allways build before debug"

Hi Eran, thanks for the fast response.

Out of interest why is there no build before run? Is it okay to add as a feature request?
