Compiler doesn't change in IDE

[jacdelad]

Hi,
I have a problem when processing a file which is not part of a project. I have PB 6.11 installed (x86 and x64) and added all the compilers into my x64-IDE. Now, when I run a program like

Code: Select all

Debug Bool(#PB_Compiler_Processor=#PB_Processor_x64)
Debug Bool(#PB_Compiler_Processor=#PB_Processor_x86)

and change the compiler afterwards, the compiler does not change. I'm stuck with the x86 compiler right now, no matter which x64 compiler I choose in the settings.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Edit: I found something: If I open the file in a different text editor, I see the compiler is fixed in the extra data at the end of the file. How do I prevent this?

In the 'Preferences' under 'Editor', there is the combination list 'Save Settings for'. I use 'A common file project.cfg for every directory'.

Oh, I'll try that! Thanks for the hint.

It shouldn't matter where the IDE stores the settings, mine is also doing that at the end of the source codes.
I guess you changed the compiler at the wrong place?
If you change it in preferences/Compiler/defaults => it will not influence the one bond to your source code.
If you change it in Compiler/Compiler Options (Use compiler) => it will be bond to your source code, stored either at the end of it, or in an extra file.

Oh ok. I'll try that later. Thanks! It seems a bit confusing to me. I thought there were two settings, one within a pbp-file and one for the rest.

Ok, so I tried it and finally found "Compiler" -> "Compiler options" in the menu. I didn't know that, but now it somehow does not really make sense (or does it?). Why to have 2 places to set a compiler? Plus, how do I know whether my file has the compiler information stored in it or not??

Also, could a mod please move thie topic to the IDE subforum? It surely fits better there.

To me it makes perfect sense.
Preferences/Compiler/defaults => is your DEFAULT compiler (when starting a new code file)
You only have to set that once, usually.

And when you start compiling, you can swap compilers by Compiler/Compiler Options Menu.

It was always like this, later projects were added to the IDE and made things more comfortable.

When you say it that way, I understand. Seems like it just has to arrive in my head.
