In order to compile your programs from within APN, you need to tell APN two things:
| • | Where your regular A-Shell initialization file (miame.ini) is located |
| • | What command line switches, options and parameters to use when loading the compiler. In addition to the usual switches you use when compiling programs (for example, -w:2000 or -x:2), there are some that are required for the APN environment. |
To configure the compiler, go to Tools > Options > Tools and select the scheme “A-Shell BASIC.” You should see “ASB Compile” in the list (it may be the only thing on the list); select it and click “Edit.”
The “Parameters” line is the one that accomplishes both of the objectives mentioned above: it tells APN the location of miame.ini, and specifies the compiler switches to use. You should be able to modify this line (if needed) without too much difficulty; see the more detailed description under Integrated compilation if necessary. Note that APN provides default values for the Parameters line and you may need to make no changes whatsoever.
