populated with the directories of that type that have been mapped. There are a maximum
of 100 directories that can be entered for each type.
Select Include Files to select or create the directory that the compiler will look for
Include files in.
Select Library Files to select or create the directory that the compiler will look for
(IR) Library files in.
Preferences Dialog - Netlinx Compiler Tab
Use the options in the NetLinx Compiler tab of the Preferences dialog to set default preferences for
the NetLinx compiler. The items on this tab include:
Directories - Click to open the directories menu, where you select the directories to point
the compiler to, by file type. Once a directory type is selected, the directory list is
populated with the directories of that type that have been mapped. There are a maximum
of 100 directories that can be entered for each type.
Select Include Files to select or create the directory that the compiler will look for
Include files in.
Select Library Files to select or create the directory that the compiler will look for
System Call files in. Note that the compiler processes the Library directories listed
here in reverse order (that is, from the bottom up).
Select Module Files to select or create the directory that the compiler will look for
Duet Module files (*.JAR) and AXS Module files (*.TKO).
Compile With Debug Info - Select this option to include variable symbol information in
the compiled file. This allows the debugger to identify and validate variable symbols in
the code. You must compile with debug info in order to debug NetLinx files.
Build With Source - Check to include the executable code and the source code to the
Master Controller or data device when the file is sent (memory permitting). This allows
the Receive option to retrieve the source code from the Master Controller. If Build with
Source is disabled, only the executable code is sent, which cannot be retrieved from the
Master Controller.
Build With Password Protection - Select this option to apply a password to the Source
file. Once applied, you cannot retrieve the source code from the Master Controller
unless you provide the correct password. Select the Change button to edit the password
(via the Change Password dialog). A password must be at least 6 characters in length
(maximum of 20 characters).
When building with source, only the files needed for the compilation process are
compressed. Though the APW may contain many files, if the source file only uses
one AXI file, then only 2 files will be compressed.
