the compiler is built into IDL, so the answer is no.

So, can I call whatever compiler .compile uses from the terminal (bash)
directly without firing up IDL?

Bummer but so what about:

So, you can do:

% echo "print, 'foo' & print, 'bar' " | idl

but is there a way to have multiple ".compile" commands on one line?

% echo "print, 'compiling foo & .compile 'foo.pro' & print, 'compiling
bar & .compile 'bar.pro' " | idl

% echo "print, 'compiling foo & .compile 'foo.pro' & print, 'compiling
bar' & .compile 'bar.pro' " | sed 's/&/\n/g' | idl

I need to call .compile multiple times and dont want to have to start
IDL every time.
Is there a way to do this?

thanks & best regards,
