The ”Compile” menu contains all entries related to compiling a program or unit.
-
Compile
- (Alt-F9) Compiles the contents of the active window, irrespective of the primary
file setting.
-
Make
- (F9) Compiles the contents of the active window, and any files that the unit or
program depends on and that were modified since the last compile. If the primary file
was set, the primary file is compiled instead.
-
Build
- Compiles the contents of the active window, and any files that the unit or program
depends on, whether they were modified or not. If the primary file was set, the primary
file is compiled instead.
-
Target
- Sets the target operating system for which the program should be compiled.
-
Primary file
- Sets the primary file. If set, any run or compile command will act on the
primary file instead of on the active window. The primary file need not be loaded in
the IDE for this to have effect.
-
Clear primary file
- Clears the primary file. After this command, any run or compile action
will act on the active window.
-
Compiler messages
- (F12) Displays the compiler messages window. This window will
display the messages generated by the compiler during the most recent compile.
