Build Menu

The Build menu contains items relating to compiling files and building programs. This section discusses the items which may not be familiar. Executing a compile or build will result in a series of commands being performed on the specific fileÆs host platform. For Windows files, the command(s) are executed as a console mode application; for server files, a TELNET session is used.

Compile

This option will execute the compile command for the current file or selected project file. If the file is not included in the current project, you are prompted for the compiler to use. Select Cancel from the Build menu to terminate the compile.

Build

This option will execute the build command for the current file or project folder. The source of the build command (project or project folder) is displayed in the menu item text. Select Cancel from the Build menu to terminate the build.

Clean

This option will execute the command specified in the project to delete the intermediate files created when compiling the current file (or group of files when selected for a project folder).

Select Compiler

For non-project files, this option allows you to select the compiler you want to use when compiling the current file.

Cancel

Selecting this option will attempt to cancel any compile or build commands in progress. If the command is being executed in Windows, the console process is terminated. If the command is being executed on a remote server, a CTRL+BREAK key press is sent to the TELNET session. Selecting cancel again will terminate the TELNET session.
