Making .exe (executable) means building application. So you may find answer of this question here.

Anyway I will work to re-describe the process by a simpler way:

Almost every HMG sample have two .bat file: build.bat and ide.bat and using these files are quite simple:

Open command / console window, go to directory ( by CD command) of the sample you want to compile, and enter a simple command :

build demo <- will build demo.exe from demo.prg
or
ide demo <- open HMG-IDE with demo.prg

( IDE will wait your “run” command by pressing “run” button.)

So you may use this two .bat files for your projects too.

Copy build.bat and / or ide.bat to your working <dir>, and modify them this way:

build.bat :

call c:\hmg\build.bat <myProject> | <myProgram>

ide.bat :

c:\hmg\ide\ide.exe <myProject> | <myProgram>

Note : in this syntax “|” means “or”; you don’t need enter both project and program file names nor this sign; simply enter either one or other.

Change:

– “c:\hmg\” depending on your environment (installation); such as c:\hmg.3.1.1\ or antything else;

– <myProject> | <myProgram> to your project / program file name.

Project file is a text file with “.hbp” extension and contains a list of name(s) of your program file(s).

After building such .hbp file, you may open it from directly HMG-IDE ( by “open project command) and again, you may build your .exe by  pressing “run” button.
