Introducing the Program Builder

 
 

The Program Builder is a window-based tool for compiling source files, correcting source files, and linking the resulting object files into a program or library.

The Program Builder supports the C, C++, Fortran, COBOL, and PL/I languages. It offers the following features:

Easy-to-Use Interface The Motif-based interface provides menus and windows that simplify setting and saving compile options, linking libraries, and invoking compilers.
Saves the Current Configuration The Program Builder saves your build, makefile, and find options, so that when you return to the same directory, your saved configuration is restored.
Error Browsing When you select a compilation error from the output list, you go to the line and column in the source code where the error occurred. You can also navigate through the list of errors using the First Error and Next Error buttons.
Automatic Makefile Generation The Program Builder automatically creates makefiles for your programs or libraries. It also keeps track of file dependency information.
