2.3 Compiling Simple Programs



When no projects are loaded, HIDE will operate on No-Project mode, this mode is displayed on the status bar. In this mode, you may compile simple programs. This mode does not allow use of units, linking additional libraries or resources.

To use Non-Project mode, simply load an HLA sample program or write one.
Use menu item File -> Open to open a new editor window.
When the program is typed, you may save it then compile.
By default, HIDE allows you to compile and run a sample program without saving it first, HIDE will automatically save it in the HIDE/TEMP folder as “temp.hla”.
The executable will also end up in the temp folder.

This default mode may be removed from the HIDE Settings dialog (in Options menu).
To compile, use menu item Make -> Build, Build & Run or Rebuild.
