Compiling Project

When you choose to compile the project from the Main Menu, either by using the 'B' (Production Build) or the 'D' (Developmental Build) option, the program will then begin its automated procedure for you. Compiling the entire project can take several minutes, so please be patient. Once the entire operation had been completed, this application will provide the compiled file to the desired final location specified in the User Preferences.

Compiling Options

You have two choices in terms of compiling the desired project, either 'Build Project' (Production Build) or 'Build a Development Build of Project' (Production Build). Both of these options are equally the same, with only one difference - the filename of the compiled build. When choosing to compile a developmental build, the filename will contain 'dev' along with the Git SHA Hash. This is done such that it is easier to depict what the compiled build is based on, in regards to the commit history. Another benefit of the filenames differing, is the ability to separate production and developmental builds.
