Build actions

Builds the all target from each CMake profile configured for the current project:

This action serves as the most global build action, as it does not require a CMake profile or Run/Debug configuration to be preselected.

You can configure the profiles in CMake settings and then select the desired one in the Run/Debug configuration switcher.

Build <selected configuration>
