Compiling from TextPad

^OO^ · Post by **^OO^** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 11:35 pm

Hi PB People,

I like editing with TextPad. TextPad can also trigger compilation.

The directory C:\Program Files\PureBasic\Compilers has five complier executables:-

BuildLib.exe
FAsm.exe
LccLnk.exe
PBCompiler.exe
PureBasic27986232.exe

Which are called to create an executable? And, in what order should they be called?

Finally, which one does the "test" compile?

Thank you

You should call the PBCompiler.exe

Take a look in the manual, chapter "Using the Shell-Compiler" (top-left corner) for further descriptions and some examples...

Hello Andre

That is what I was doing.

Without the /EXE "test" parameter, it runs the app without saving anything.
With /EXE "test", it does not run the app and still does not save anything.

I searched the whole disk in case it saved it somewhere else - nothing!

hi uhm you :roll:
the PureBasic27986232.exe is the last source you ran.
when you choose run in the editor, Pb compiles it to the compilers directory and then run it from there.
