First Build in the SOWE

This chapter is about

- Opening the shared project in the SOWE -- When you first open the shared project in the SOWE, SNiFF+ automatically will initialize the environment by copying the directory structure found in the SSWE.
- Building and running the complex executable -- A successful build verifies that you have set the project's Make attributes correctly. After the initial build you will have the targets for a stable running version of the project in your SOWE.

During the edit/compile/debug cycle, each developer should only build targets in his/her own Private Working Environment (PWE). Builds in the SOWE should only take place during regular updates of your team's working environments (described in the "Team Maintenance" tutorial). The initial build in the SOWE is in fact your first update of this working environment.
