There are several different methods for compiling input files. The following table lists different compilation methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Use the Command Line in the Toolbar to Compile | Use the command line to compile a new file or to open a previously compiled file. |
| Compile a New File | Enter a new filename and additional compiler options in the command line. The specified file compiles as soon as you click Compile in the toolbar or press the Enter key. |
| Compile an Existing File | Display the previously executed command using the arrow on the right side of the command line. Select a command by clicking on it. It appears in the command line. The specified file compiles as soon as you click Compile in the toolbar. |
| Use File > Compile | When you select File > Compile , a standard open file dialog appears. Use this to browse to the file you want to compile. The selected file compiles as soon as you click Open. |
| Use Drag and Drop | Drag a filename from an external application (for example the File Manager/Explorer) and drop it into the compiler window. The dropped file compiles as soon as you release the mouse button. Files with the *.ini extension load immediately as configuration files and do not compile. Use one of the other methods to compile a C file with the *.c extension. |
