ZBasic Language Reference 138 ZX Microcontroller Family --help-warning This option causes the compiler to output information about available warning flags and default settings, and then exit. --include-path=<path-l ist> With this option you can specify a list of directories in which the compiler will look for files included using the #include directive, and also for Program Memory data initialization files. The <path-list> element consists of zero or more directory names, each separated by a semicolon. If any components of the directory name contains a space, the list may have to be quoted depending on your computer’s operating system. Quoting is neither required, nor supported, when this option occurs in a project file or arguments file. Note that the current directory can be made part of the include path in the normal fashion by using a single period to represent it. Example --include-path=..\includes;.;C:\projects\zbasic\files This specifies an include path with three components. When you use an include directive with a non- absolute path like #include "lcd.bas", the first place that the compiler will look for lcd.bas is in the includes sub-directory of the parent of the current directory. If it is not found there, the compiler will next look in the current directory because of the presence of the period. Finally, the compiler will look in the directory C:\projects\zbasic\files. If the file could not be located in any of the directories of the path, an error message will be issued. --keep-files This option requests that the compiler not delete the intermediate files that it creates during compilation. This is only useful for native mode devices. Unless otherwise specified (using the –-temp-dir option), the intermediate files will be created in a subdirectory named zxTempDir in the same directory as the project file. --language=<language> This option specifies the target language for the modules subsequently processed. The values that may be specified for the <language> element are shown in the table below. Language Option Values Value Description BasicX Compile using BasicX compatibility mode. ZBasic Compile using native mode (the default). --list[=<file>] This option requests that a listing file be generated and specifies the filename for it. For VM mode devices, the listing file is similar to an assembly language listing, giving detailed information about the code that was generated. If the equal sign and filename are omitted, the listing is output to stdout. For native mode devices, the –-list option causes an actual assembly listing to be produced (--keep- files is also needed, q.v.) and in this case no filename should be specified. The listing file will have and extension of .lss.
