Compiling a Final Binary

Top  Previous  Next

The binary executable file you compiled in the previous step is called a debug binary. This type of binary is used while creating your project and debugging it.

When you decide your project is ready to be deployed in the real world, you should compile a release binary. To do this, select Project > Settings and uncheck the Debug version checkbox.

The next time you will press F5, a release binary will be created and uploaded to your target. It will automatically start running and will not provide any debug information.

This release binary file also remains on your hard drive, inside your project folder (see Starting a New Project). You may take it and upload it to any number of DSes.
