To translate source code written by a programmer into object code that can run on a computer. A compiler is a program that performs this translation.
A number crunching process that turns editor code into game code. This is also referred to as "bsp".
A process where a computer translates a series of instructions written in a programming language into actual machine language.
To convert a file into an executable file. For example, the MENUMAKE utility compiles a text file containing menu-formatting commands into a data file with a .DAT extension. The NMENU program then uses this compiled file to display the menu on the workstation screen.
To have a computer translate code written in a computer language into an executable form.
To process source code into object code, combined with other procedures to make a program (see "link").
translate user written-programming instructions into machine language instructions
1. v. To translate all or part of a program expressed in a high-level language into a computer program expressed in an intermediate language, an assembly language, or a machine language. 2. v. To prepare a machine language program from a computer program written in another programming language by making use of the overall logic structure of the program, or generating more than one computer instruction for each symbolic statement, or both, as well as performing the function of an assembler.
To perform semantic preprocessing of the code, usually optimizing one or more qualities of the code, such as run-time speed of execution or run-time storage usage. The minimum semantic requirements of compilation are that it must remove all macro calls and arrange for all load time values to be resolved prior to run time.
use a computer program to translate source code written in a particular programming language into computer-readable machine code that can be executed
To convert source code to machine-readable "binary" code.
The process of taking a project's code components and making an EXE or OCX file out of them. You can distribute compiled files to users.
Process where a Prolog program is translated to a sequence of instructions. See also interpreted. SWI-Prolog always compiles your program before executing it.
To translate a program that is written in a high-level programming language into a machine language program. The program that performs this task is called a compiler.
To translate a program written in a high-level language into a low-level language all at once, in preparation for later execution.
The process of building an application in source code. This is one step in the standard linux/unix process for installing an application.
To translate a source program into an executable program.
a process done by computers for computers to make a newly written computer program understandable to the actual machine electronic components so that it will run when you type in the program's name or click on an icon that stands for your program. All programs in any programming language need to be compiled, but this is part of what programming software is written to do for the user or programmer. Newer programming environments like MicroWorlds or Visual Basic are designed to make this step undetectable to the user/programmer.

To translate a high order language program( source code) into its relocatable or absolute machine code equivalent( object code).
COMPILE is an immediate, compile-only word, the use of which may be illustrated by a sample definition: VARIABLE USE-32BIT : COMPILE-SIZED-FETCH ( -- ) USE-32BIT @ IF COMPILE @ ( 4 bytes long, compile a @ ) ELSE COMPILE w@ ( 2 bytes long, compile a w@ ) THEN ; IMMEDIATE VARIABLE VAR1 USE-32BIT OFF : GETVAL VAR1 COMPILE-SIZED-FETCH ; Our hypothetical example assumes that we may be compiling for one of two memory systems...one that will need 16-bit fetches when it runs, another at 32 bits. The variable USE-32BIT has been set to the appropriate state for the one we are doing. The job of the above definition is not to FETCH the correct size at compile-time, but rather to COMPILE the correctly-sized operator to be executed later, when the application actually runs. Related Words: IMMEDIATE [COMPILE] LITERAL
(map/level) The action that must be performed to create a file of the map which the FPS-game can understand as a level. Typically this includes execution of one or more build tools.
software is created in a programming language, such as Pascal or C, and the usually com17iled into an application so that the user doesn't have to see the code.
With some Microsoft Visual Tools, it is possible to compile an application as part of development. This means the code that the application was written with is converted to machine code (that is, binary-coded machine instructions in the native language of the computer). Using a compiler decreases the space used by an application and the increases the speed at which it will run.
To translate text programming into something the machine can read. In Access, when you click the Compile Loaded Modules button, you will check for some errors in your programming.
To translate a program written in a high-level programming language into an intermediate language, assembly language, or a matching language. See also, load. The computer actions required to transform a source file into an executable object file. A program that does this is called a compiler.
The process of converting a set of high(er)-level instructions (such as C or Pascal source code) into low(er)-level format (such as machine-code). Computer applications are generally 'compiled' from programming source code files.
To transform source code into dictionary definitions.
To prepare code for execution. In Visual Basic, code can be compiled into either P-code (which results in faster compilation) or native code (which results in faster execution). The type of compilation can be selected from the Compile page of the Project Properties dialog box.
To convert a high-level program into a machine language program. A "compiler" program helps accomplish this conversion and discovers syntax errors when a script is being compiled.
To transform a program written in a high-level programming language from source code into object code. Programmers write programs in a form called source code. Source code must go through several steps before it becomes an executable program. The first step is to pass the source code through a compiler, which translates the high-level language instructions into object code.
the process of converting source code into machine code to be executed. [ edit
This is the process of turning text-based code written by a computer programmer into the actual instructions used by a computer.
To load a program (or a portion thereof) into Prolog through the compiler. Compiled code runs more quickly than interpreted code, but you cannot debug compiled code in as much detail as interpreted code.
1. to convert the human-readable source code, in a language such as , into an object module. Often used to refer to creating an executable, which is technically done by a linker. 2. In Director, to convert Lingo scripts into an optimized (" tokenized") format. Compiling Lingo scripts also verifies their syntax.
Translating the code you wrote in a half-english, half-computerese into full computerese, called 'machine code' that the computer understands and can run.
