Build

Overview

Default shortcut: F11

The Build command starts the build process of the application. This means that all objects belonging to the application will be syntactically verified. No compilation code will be generated as it will be done when you are going to log in or to download an application. The build process is performed automatically before each log-in if the application program has been changed.

If any inconsistencies are detected during the syntactical verification, they will be indicated by error messages or alerts (warnings) in the Messages view in category Build. If the number of errors/alerts exceeds 500, all further messages will be omitted and a special error message will inform you about this situation. Commands of the Messages view are available for navigating between messages and source code.

If the program has not been changed since the last build-process, and no errors were detected, it will not be built again and the message The application is up to date will be displayed in the message window. Nevertheless, if you want to get the syntactical checks performed again, execute the Rebuild command.

NOTE: The currently used compiler version is defined in the Project Settings > Compile options dialog box.
