Compiling Packages

Go Up to Creating and Editing Packages

You can compile a package from the IDE or from the command line.

To recompile a package by itself from the IDE

1. Choose File > Open and select a package source file (.dpk).
2. Click Open.
3. When the package opens:
   • In the Project Manager, right-click the package and choose Compile.
   • In the IDE, choose Project > Build .

Note: Right-click the package project nodes for options to compile or build.

You can insert compiler directives into your package source code.

If you compile from the command line, you can use several package-specific switches.
