The first step in setting up the any tool is to use the
Options, Editor Options menu and in the
General section check the
Help debug tools, macros and executables option. This option displays additional debug information, making it much easier to get the configuration working.
Now to when it come to running compilers, makers and executable Zeus gives you many choices. Described below are two ways to do this:
(1) Using a Workspace
This is the approach I would use as it keeps your files and you build commands together.
To use this approach you need to create a workspace. You can create a workspace by hand using the
Workspace, New menu or alternatively you can also download the
Workspace Builder utility.
Once the workspace is defined, open the workspace in Zeus and use the
Workspace, Options menu. Define the compiler, maker, debug and execute commands in the
Compiler and
Project sections of the Workspace options dialog.
These options can then be executed using the
Compiler, Compile menu and the
Workspace, Make, Rebuild All, Execute and
Debug menus.
(2) Using a Document type and a Tool
You can use the
Document Type to run the build and use the
Tools, Options menu to define a tool to execute the results of the build. Naturally, rather than using the document type to do the build, you could also define a second tool to run the build process.
It is also possible to run the compile, build and execute steps via a macro, but this is a far more complex approach, so it will not be cover here.
