However, during the development of some types of systems, particularly those that involve interfaces to non-Eiffel components, it is helpful to monitor the external compilation. The external compilation pane shows a log of the compilation output from the external (typically C language) compiler. But the external compilation pane is more than just a log. It has powerful features that help you deal with the results of external compilation. @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ If the external compiler uses a different locale than your default locale, you c ==Open a file mentioned in the external compilation output== -You can open a file mentioned in the external compiler output in a specified external editor by selecting the file name and then clicking the [[Image:metrics-tool--command-send-to-external-editor-icon|send to external editor]] button shown in the bottom bar of the following figure: +You can open a file mentioned in the external compiler output in a specified external editor by selecting the file name and then clicking the '''send to external editor''' ( [[Image:metrics-tool--command-send-to-external-editor-icon|send to external editor]] ) button, shown in the bottom bar of the following figure: [[Image:External compilation pane file selection|Selecting a file to open]] @@ -27,6 +27,10 @@ You can open a file mentioned in the external compiler output in a specified ext You can view the external code for a particular Eiffel class or feature in an external editor.
