Running and Building Projects

The IDL Workbench provides streamlined ways to:

Run a project. Running a project is often as easy as running a single controlling routine. The workbench project interface allows you to specify whether IDL's current session should be reset beforehand, or whether the project build operation should be executed first.

Build a project. In most cases, building a project involves compiling all of the routines contained in the project directory, compiling all of the routines referenced by those routines, and creating a SAVE file. The workbench project interface provides control over how the project is built, allowing you to specify exactly what should happen when your project is built.

See Running and Building IDL Projects for a complete description of these features.
