How to compile with JMC

JMCompiler is a CLI compiler for JM-, currently the only compiler available. Listed below there's a list of every parameter it parses and a tutorial on how to compile JM- Project files.

Note: JMCompiler currently only supports* Windows, but it is going to support Linux and macOS too. *kinda

JMC's Option list

• .\JMCompiler.exe --register-jmd-file-extension Registers .jmdpjf as JM-'s Project file's extension.

• .\JMCompiler.exe <jmdCodeFile>.jmdpjf <outputFileDir>.exe Compiles the JM- Project file .jmdpjf to a windows executable file. .exe

JMCompiler compilation tutorial

To compile a JM- Project file into a windows executable file .exe follow these steps:

• Step 1: Create a folder and move both the project file and JMC's .exe file inside of it

• Step 2: Open a command-line processor in that folder (Like PowerShell)

• Step 3: If you didn't already do it, register the .jmdpjf file extension* using: .\JMCompiler.exe --register-jmd-file-extension

• Step 4: Compile the project file using: .\JMCompiler.exe .\projectFileName.jmdpjf .\output.exe

• Step 5: Done! You compiled your JM- Project file into a .exe file, ready to be distributed!

Notes

• Registering the file extension adds an HKEY to Windows' registry, so it should require you to open the command-line processor with administrator privileges.

• JMCompiler will be integrated within JM-'s official IDE.
