Whenever you start multi without specifying any options, the Builder automatically opens default.bld in the directory from where MULTI was started. If default.bld does not exist in that directory, the Builder opens the most recently used project instead. To start the Builder with a specific build file of your project loaded, do the following:
multi [filename]
where filename is the build file (*.bld) of the program, subproject, or library of your project that you want to open.
Important: If you want to open a build file that is a child of another build file in the hierarchy of your project, use the following syntax to ensure that the child inherits all of the appropriate settings from its parent:
multi "parent.bld child.bld"
where parent.bld is the build file from which child.bld inherits its option settings.
For example, suppose you want to build the source files that belong to foochild.bld, which is a program that inherits options from the top-level program of your project, masterfoo.bld. To open foochild.bld directly while inheriting all the options needed to compile and link it properly, enter:
multi "masterfoo.bld foochild.bld"
