Making Target Programs

ProView provides you with four commands to compile, assemble, and link files in a project. All commands, Translate,  Make, Build All, and Link, are available from the  Project menu.

Translate

The Translate option will invoke the proper tool translating the currently select source file into the selected format. To complete the project after a translate the Link, Make, or Build All options must still be run.

Make

The Make  menu command allows you to recompile only the source files that have changed since they were last compiled. This command will usually take less time to complete than the Build All  command. This is especially true in large projects where only a few files change between test iterations.

Build All

The Build All   menu command allows you to recompile all source files in a project and rebuild the target file. This command is useful when building the project for the first time or whenever you want to force all files to be recompiled.

Link

The Link   menu command allows you to link all the object and library files in a project and rebuild the target file. This command is useful when changing a library or a precompiled object. When these files are changed you must either select the  Link  command or the  Build All command as ProView cannot detect a change in files that are not built by ProView..
