Projects provide a useful way to organize and manage the creation of applications or components that consist of multiple files and/or libraries.
Projects are created using the Windows-IDE. When a project is open a dialog box appears in the IDE with list boxes containing the files and libraries in the project. This dialog box stays open for the current project. Closing the dialog box closes the project.
To create a project select File / New Project. This displays the project dialog box. To save your project, select File / Save or close the dialog box. Project files are saved with a .ppj suffix.
Projects are edited via the project dialog box and saved using the normal File/Save or File/SaveAs menu items when the project dialog is the active window in the IDE. Projects are automatically saved when the project is closed. The project dialog box contains the following items:
In the Windows-IDE, you can consult and/or load all the files in your project into the listener by pressing the 'Re' button or by selecting Listener / Consult or Listener / Reconsult.
All the .pro files are consulted, and the .plm files and libraries are loaded.
Using the Windows-IDE, you can compile all the modified files, and link all the project files and libraries into an .xpl file by pressing the BLD button or by selecting Build / Build.
Using the command-line, you can do the same by invoking abld on the project as follows:
c> abld ducky.ppj
