Disabling Compilation for a Filesystem

You can disable compilation on a mounted filesystem. This feature is particularly useful if you mount a library to browse its sources but you do not want it to be recompiled every time you compile an application that is dependent on the library.

To disable compilation for a filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, select the Filesystems tab.
  2. Right-click the filesystem's node and choose Properties from the contextual menu.
  3. In the Properties window, choose the Capabilities tab.
  4. Set the Use In Compiler property to False.
Tip Capabilities settings apply to entire filesystems. However, you can keep individual sources in a file system from being accidentally compiled. Open the source's property sheet, and switch to the Execution tab. Change the source's Compiler property to Do Not Compile.
