I Cannot Compile my Application

Command Line Compilation

4make relies on program definition files for compilation. These files have a .def file extension, and contain information about the structure of the program. The format is simple: 

TARGET=target_name
SOURCES=source_files

for example 

TARGET=myprog.4ge
SOURCES=file1.4gl
        file2.4gl
FORMS=form1.per
      form2.per

Other problems

It is part of the system requirements of hydra that there must be a 'C' compiler installed.  These compilers are part of the Visual Studio install and Microsoft's Visual Toolkit (free).  With out one of these compilers installed your program will not compile and produce errors.
