Scenario: run mcompile to compile an executable map

In this scenario, you run the mcompile utility command to compile an executable map.

Use the mcompile utility command to compile a specific executable map from the command line, outside the Map Designer GUI.

The following example shows how you can use the command to compile a specific executable map:


install_dir> mcompile MyExecMap 
   -E -P WINDOWS 
   -O C:\MyDev\Compiledmaps\MyCompiledMap.mmc 
   -R C:\MyDev\CompiledResults\
       MyExecMapErrorFile.err 
   -NOLOG

When you run the example, the following result occurs:

  • If the MyExecMap map compiled successfully, the mcompile - completed successfully. message displays on the console.
  • The MyCompiledMap.mmc compiled map file is produced for WINDOWS in the C:\MyDev\Compiledmaps directory.
  • The MyExecMapErrorFile.err build results file is produced in the C:\MyDev\CompiledResults directory.

No log file is produced because ( -NOLOG ) option has been selected.
