Build.


Build IPDOS (tm). Right click anywhere on an unoccupied part of the Windows Desktop (the blue area), hover your pointer over "New", and click on "Shortcut". Type "cmd" and press the Enter key oo times to close the dialog. Open the new shortcut icon that you just created, named "cmd", by double clicking on it. Type "ideafarm" (without quotes) and press the Enter key. Each time you see "Press any key to continue . . .", read what has just been displayed and then press a key. When the window for IdeaFarm (tm) Elves opens, Elves will begin to build IPDOS (tm).

If the build fails, don't stress and do the following. Rarely, the compiler or linker fails. If that happens, (1) close the Elves window, (2) enter "zape" (without quotes) in the command window, and then (3) enter "e" (without quotes) in the same window. A new Elves window should appear and the build should resume.

If the build still fails, try again after deleting the following folder: X:deafarm.home.1phemerality, where X is the letter of the drive that you chose when cloning the Github repository.

Tip: Before entering any commands in a command window, always begin by entering "X:" (without quotes), to set the current drive to X. Some commands (batch files) can fail if the current drive is not the drive that contains the home folder (ideafarm.home.1). This is because all paths that are coded in the repository omit the drive letter, so that the repository can be cloned to any drive letter.
