HydraExpress offers several options for compiling your applications created through the code generator. By default, the code generator creates both release and debug makefiles. You may take advantage of these generated makefiles, or you may design your own. If you use MSVC as a development environment, you can compile and build your projects within that environment.

This chapter discusses the various options for makefile generation, how to use the generated makefiles, and how to build your applications.
