Build Source Code
The File-->Build Source Code
menu item (and the Build button and the Ctl+W
keyboard shortcut) will generate the source code that implements the
interface.
The language code generated is chosen from the Project
Options dialog under the General options tab (see section
37.3.4). The default is C source code which
is supported natively by Glade. Generation of C++, Ada95, Perl, and
Eiffel is effected through helper applications from the packages
glademm (for the glade- program), gate,
glade2perl, and eglade respectively. These need to
be available on your system if you are to build the interface in these
languages. If Glade can not find the appropriate helper application
it will pop up an explanatory window and show the message
``Error writing source'' in the main window status bar.
See Section 37.3.3 for a description of the files
generated by a build for C.
When you select to build your project source code if you have not
previously saved the project the Project Options dialog will
be displayed allowing you to set the project paths and other options.
Otherwise Glade will silently generate the source code.
