FIG. 309 Preferences dialog - NetLinx Compiler tab
| NetLinx Compiler Options | |
|---|---|
| Compile With Debug Info | Select this option to include variable symbol information in the compiled file. This allows the debugger to identify and validate variable symbols in the code. You must compile with debug info in order to debug NetLinx files. |
| Build With Source | Select this option to apply a password to the Source file. Once you retrieve the source code file from the master, you will be prompted for a password to unlock the file. The last password you entered in this dialog will be used to open the locked file first. If that fails, then you will be prompted for a correct password. |
| Build With Password Protection | Select this option to apply a password to the Source file. Once applied, you cannot retrieve the source code from the Master Controller unless you provide the correct password. Select Change to edit the password (via the Change Password dialog). |
| Enable _WC Preprocessor (Unicode) | Select this option if you are utilizing wide-string ("WC...") Unicode sub-routines in your NetLinx code. See the [_Enabling Unicode Compiling section on page 100](../programming/working_with_unicode.md#144661329489820-_bookmark312) for details. |
| Directories | Click to open the directories menu, where you select the directories to point the compiler to, by file type. Once a directory type is selected, the directory list is populated with the directories of that type that have been mapped. There are a maximum of 100 directories that can be entered for each type. |
