About Build Targets

A build target is the desired end product of the build job, such as an executable file. An executable file is an example of a real build target.

Build targets can also be virtual. A virtual target is a target that represents an abstract idea, such as "all". A target of "all" would mean to build all targets, not an executable file named "all".

Each target is associated with a build configuration. You must create a build configuration before attempting to create a target. Remember to also have the build configuration checked out before attempting to modify it.
