    hmmm


    for ex.

    you wrote a program
    and you want show it to someone
    at his computer
    but he dont have pascal

    so in C or C++ and many more
    after you compiled and built yor code
    it automatcly makes an EXE file

    but in pascal its not

    you must do it manualy
    and i dont know how

    Errr

    Don't know pascal, but I just found this...

    * How do I make EXE files with Turbo Pascal?

    In Turbo Pascal, in the compile menu, select COMPILE TO MEMORY. Open the menu
    again, and it should say COMPILE TO DISK. Then select COMPILE, and it will
    create the file XXX.EXE, where XXX is the name of your .PAS file.

    To GodLike:

    Now I understand. English is not my first language and I didn't know that exporting an EXE is the same as compiling a program.

    Just like C and C++ there are also compilers for Pascal. I don't know what you mean with manually, perhaps using the command-line? Most compilers can be used on the command line. A lot of compilers come with an IDE which has a nice menu.

    If you don't use Turbo Pascal, which compiler do you use?

    hmm


    i am using turbo pascal

    but
    exporting an EXE is not the same as Compile

    The Compile just run your program

    and exportin an EXE
    is like BUILD or MAKE

    its create an EXE file

    even in VC++ 6
    you click on BUILD

    and english is not my first languge too

    and hmm

    i dont sure that its rigth to say EXPORT EXE

    but what the heck


    and RobR - it worked
    thanx

    >The Compile just run your program

    If I am correct then compiling source-code means creating binaries of that code.

    A make-file is used by the make-utility, the make-file contains information on how to build/make the program. This requires compiling and linking. So I think compiling is a process within the make/build-process.

    A compiler takes source code and outputs relocatable object code. To make a runable module, the relocatable object needs to be "located", and all the external references resolved. This is normally done by the linker.

    Build/Make files/utilities tell the linker what to use to build a module from the variety of relocatable object files it has at it's disposal.
