To choose a different font use the ‘Font …’-buttons in the ‘Font’-tab, which will
offer a dialog to choose one of the installed fonts on the system. Fonts can be
chosen separately for the Editor window, Build/Debug output window and for the
Watch Variable window.
3.1.2 The
Compiler
The source-file has to be
compiled
before it can be
loaded
and
executed
.
Compiling the source file with the GeoBASIC compiler results into 3 files, one for
the executable object itself (file extension “
.gba
”; i.e.
sample.gba
), one for
the language data (file extension “
.lng
”; i.e.
sample.lng
) and a debug-info
file (file extension “
.gbd
”; i.e.
sample.gbd
). The first two files are necessary
to execute the program, either on a L
EICA
theodolite or with the simulator on a
personal computer. The debug-info file is necessary for debugging a program
using GBStudio. See the following diagram:

The compiler is fully integrated in the development environment. The compilation
of the source file is just one mouse click away. If an error occurs the editor will
place the cursor automatically at the position of the error in the source window.
Use Ctrl-F1 to get a more descriptive explanation of what caused the failure of the
compilation process.
Depending on the compiler settings also the debug info file is generated which is
necessary for debugging the application.
