<h3>Precompiling a File in the Carbide IDE</h3>
<p>To precompile a file in the Carbide IDE, use the Precompile command in the Project menu:</p>
<div class="step">
<ol>
<li> Start the Carbide IDE.</li>
<li>Open or create a project.</li>
<li>Choose or create a build target in the project.</li>
<p>The settings in the project’s active build target will be used when preprocessing and precompiling the file you want to precompile.</p>
<li>Open the source code file to precompile.</li>
<p>See “What Can be Precompiled” for information on what a precompiled file may contain.</p>
<li>From the Project menu, choose Precompile.</li>
<p>A save dialog box appears.</p>
<li>Choose a location and type a name for the new precompiled file.</li>
<p>The IDE <a href="perf_precompiled_what.htm">precompiles</a> the file and saves it.</p>
<li>Click Save.</li>
<p>The save dialog box closes, and the IDE precompiles the file you opened, saving it in the folder you specified, giving it the name you specified.</p>
</ol>
</div>
<p>You may now include the new precompiled file in source code files. </p>
