The best way to compile a program, with the Irie Pascal Integrated Development Environment (i.e. the IDE), depends on whether the IDE is in project mode or in file mode. NOTE: The Executable Preferences page of the User Preferences dialog box is used to switch between file and project modes, and to select executable options for file mode.
If the IDE is in project mode, you should compile an existing program by compiling the project with which it is associated. When you compile an existing project the IDE will automatically compile the program associated with the project (see The Compile menu entry for more information). In this mode the executable options from the Miscellaneous options page will be used when compiling the program.
If the IDE is in file mode, you compile an existing program by simply opening the file containing the program (see the File menu for more information on opening files), and then compiling it. In this mode the executable options on the Executable Preferences page will affect how the program is compiled (see The Compile menu entry for more information).
