Compiling and building a PL/I project

By default, Eclipse builds projects automatically whenever a file is saved. To turn off automatic building, select Window > Preferences > General > Workspace and clear the Build automatically check box.

Use build configurations to specify project settings that are passed to the Compiler, including pre- and post-build events, and additional library and resource files.

To configure build configurations, right-click the project in PL/I Explorer, select Properties. Then expand the Micro Focus > Build Configurations node.

The built artefacts are selected by clicking in the PL/I Link Settings options of the build configuration and entering a value for Output type. The options are:

Single executable native library

One .dll file for the whole project.

Single executable

One .exe file for the whole project.

Single library

One .lib file for the whole project.

All executable native libraries

A .dll file for each .pli source file in the project.

All executables

An .exe file for each .pli source file in the project.

All libraries

A .lib file for each .pli source file in the project.
