Compile Operations
3. The status and results of the build are displayed in the Status tab of the Output Display
Window.

Building the Selected System

You can select to build (compile) any System in the Workspace, using the Build System command.
When you build a System, every Source Code, Include, and Module file contained in the selected
System is compiled. The Build System command always works on the selected System, regardless
of whether it is currently designated as the active system or not.
To compile a System:
1. Click to select (highlight) the System that you want to build (in the Workspace tab of the
Workspace window).
2. Select Build System <System name> from the Build menu, or select Build System from the
System Folder context menu (or click the toolbar button).
Any errors detected by the program before the build operation starts are listed in the Pre-Build
Errors dialog. This dialog gives you the option of ignoring the errors and continuing with the
build.
3. The status and results of the build are displayed in the Status tab of the Output Display
Window.

Building the Active System

You can select to build (compile) only the System currently designated as the Active System, using
the Build Active System command. When you compile a System, every Source Code, Include, and
Module file contained in the selected System is compiled.
The currently active System is indicated in bold (in the Workspace tab of the
Workspace Window).
To compile the Active System:
1. Select Build Active System from the Build menu, or click the toolbar button.
2. The status and results of the build are displayed in the Status tab of the Output Display
Window.

Designating the System's Master Source Code File

Each System must have a Master Source Code file, and only one Source Code file in the System
can be designated as the Master Source.
There are two possible ways to designate the Master Source Code file for a System:
108
Any errors detected by the program before the build operation starts are listed in the Pre-
Build Errors dialog.
Assuming that a Master Source Code file has been defined for the System, this dialog
gives you the option of ignoring the errors and continuing with the build.
You can designate a Source Code file as the Master Source at the time that it is added to
the System, via the Master File option in the File Properties dialog.
