2.4.2 Outline of User Program or Library Production

Procedure

Unlike the BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler that converts a single source program into a user program

(file named XXX.PD3), the BHT-BASIC 3.5 Compiler converts source programs into object pro-

grams (files named XXX.OBJ) and then links those object programs to produce a user program

(XXX.PD3). A sequence of the compiling and linking processes is called "Build."

The BHT-BASIC 3.5 Compiler can also build a library (XXX.LIB). You may select whether you

build a user program or library on the Project Configuration Files dialog box.

You may build a user program or library out of either multiple files or a single file (as in the

BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler).

Note that to build a library out of a single source file, you need to create a project file for a sin-

gle source file.

[ 1 ] Building a user program out of a single source program file

What follows is a general procedure for building a user program out of a single source program

file.

(1) Designate a file that you want to use. (For details, refer to Subsection 2.4.3.1, "Designat-

ing a single source file.")

(2) Build a user program out of the designated file. (For details, refer to Subsection 2.4.4,

[ 3 ], "Building.")

[ 2 ] Building a library out of a single source file, or building a user program or

library out of multiple source files

What follows is a general procedure for building a library out of a single source file or for build-

ing a user program or library out of multiple source files.

(1) Designate a project that you want to use. (For details, refer to Subsection 2.4.3.2, "Desig-

nating a project file.")

(2) Build a user program or library out of the designated project. (For details, refer to Subsec-

tion 2.4.4, [ 3 ], "Building.")
