This tab on the Project Manager Dialog shows several options associated with building the application associated with the project. (Build an application with File | Build Project Exe, which builds a test version for use on your machine; or File | Build Project Distribution, which creates a directory of all files needed for the application, suitable for sending to another machine. See also build-project, which is a programmatic equivalent of the two menu commands. Be sure you are properly licensed before distributing an application to another machine.)
The options are:
Allow Debug of Build Error: if checked, the debugger will appear if an error occurs during a project build. If unchecked, no debugger will appear but the project build will fail.
Help File: the path of a help file for the application. Unpsupported in 6.0.
Splash Bitmap: the filename of a bitmap file which will be displayed while the application is starting up.
Icon File: the filename of an icon file (typically a .ico file) to be used for the application icon. If none is supplied, the Allegro CL icon (a bust of Franz Liszt) will be used.
Display ACL Icon in System Tray (to access debugging console): if checked, the Franz Liszt icon will appear in the system tray. Double clicking will display the Allegro CL Console. Right clicking brings up a menu of choices including Interrupt.
Full Recompile for Runtime Conditionalizations in Project Code:
if checked, all project code will be recompiled with the
runtime feature before a project distribution is
produced (this option affects calls to File |
Build Project Exe).
Runtime Options (to generate-application): generate-application must be called with a
value specified for the runtime argument. The
choices are :standard, :dynamic,
and :partners (and these are the three values for
this option). You must be licensed for whatever choice you make. See
runtime.htm for details.
See the general description of the Project Manager Dialog for details of the toolbar buttons.
