Compile Operations
Overview
The options in the Build menu allow you to compile source code into executable code that the
Axcess or NetLinx control system can understand.
NetLinx Studio v2 has the ability to compile and link all the source code (.AXS and .AXI) files at
the Workspace, Project, System or File level, plus the ability to compile a single file as either an
Axcess or NetLinx type source code file.
To send the compiled code to the Master Controller, use the File Transfers option in the Tools
menu.
Building the Workspace
One advantage to the Workspace concept employed by NetLinx Studio (v2.0 or later) is that you
can choose to build (compile) the entire Workspace. That is, every Source Code, Include, and
Module file contained within the open Workspace can be compiled with a single command: Build
Workspace.
There are several ways to access the Build Workspace command - via the Build menu, the
Workspace context menu (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Window), or via the toolbar
button.
To compile the open Workspace:
1. Select Build > Build Workspace.
Any errors detected by the program before the build operation starts are listed in the Pre-Build
Errors dialog. This dialog gives you the option of ignoring the errors and continuing with the
build.
2. The status and results of the build are displayed in the Status tab of the Output Display
Window.
Building the Selected Project
You can select to compile a single Project within the open Workspace, using the Build Project
command. When you compile a Project, every Source Code, Include, and Module file contained in
all of the Systems within the selected Project are compiled.
There are several ways to access the Build Project command - via the Build menu, the Project
Folder context menu (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Window), or via the toolbar button.
To compile a Project:
1. Click to select and highlight the Project that you want to compile (in the Workspace tab of the
Workspace Window).
2. Select Build > Build <Project Name> Project.
 Any errors detected by the program before the build operation starts are listed in the Pre-
Build Errors dialog.
