Paths and Defines options 

Description 

Include path (-I) 

Specifies the drive and/or directories that contain program include files. Standard include files are those you specify in angle brackets (<>) in an #include statement (for example, #include <myfile>). Click [...] to display a dialog allowing you to edit a list of search paths. Check the Merge box to act as if the immediate ancestor's paths are merged into this list, though this list is not actually changed.  

Defines (-D) 

Defines the specified identifier name to the null string. -Dname=string defines name to string. In this assignment, string cannot contain spaces or tabs. You can also define multiple #define options on the command line using either of the following methods:
Include multiple definitions after a single -D option by separating each define with a semicolon (;) and assigning values with an equal sign (=). For example: BCC32.EXE -Dxxx;yyy=1;zzz=NO MYFILE.C
Include multiple -D options, separating each with a space. For example: BCC32.EXE -Dxxx -Dyyy=1 -Dzzz=NO MYFILE.C
Click [...] to display a dialog allowing you to edit a list of defines. Check the Merge box to act as if the immediate ancestor's defines are merged into this list, though this list is not actually changed.  

.obj output directory (-n) 

Sets output directory to specified path. Click [...] to browse for a folder.  

Windows version target 

Conditional defines targeting the highest version of Windows API header files to use. Choose an OS version from the drop down list. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383745.aspx for more information.
The default is “Not specified”.
