Compilation Configuration

Turning the automatic build on/off

In our example Bankdemo application so far it has been quite convenient to have an automatic build whenever a file changes. In a real life situation where potentially hundreds of source files may be involved you may want to turn this off.

This is done from the Project menu. In the following you can see that Build Automatically is turned on.

In the next image you can see that it is turned off, which in turn enables the Build All and Build Project entries. When the automatic build is turned off, you can also compile a single file by right-clicking on it and selecting Compile.
