I am not aware if and how to compile my bmx file into a executable or mac executable or linux executable. Any helpful hints???

For Windows, press F5.

For the others, buy a Mac, or get Linux.

an exe file is made each time you "compile and run" or "compile" your bmax file. The exe file is located in the same folder the bmx file is.

On Windows, in the IDE, Ctrl-B will build your executable.
If you have "debug" enabled, the exe will include .debug. in the name.

You can only build executables for a specific platform on that platform. * ie. Windows on Windows, Mac on Mac.




* Note : There is also an unofficial way to build Windows executables on Mac/Linux platforms, using a customised BMK and MinGW, but it's not really a "beginners" solution - just making you aware that it is possible.

EDIT : I type too slowly.

I have an intel Mac and would be willing to compile it into a .app for you if you would like.

this goes for anyone on these forums.

i check my email every so often so do not expect an immediate response.
