You can use a batch file, for example:
;mycompile.bat
;
;Compile all of the routines used in my application and save them to
;a .XDR file.
COMPILE myprint mydisplay mycalc mygui
SAVE, /ROUTINES, FILENAME='myprog.xdr'
EXIT
Then you can execute this file by:
IDL mycompile.bat
or
IDL> @mycompile.bat
To execute the program that has been compiled you can make another
batch file:
;myprog.bat
;
;Load and execute my program
RESTORE, 'myprog.xdr' ;Restore the compiled routines
mygui ;Execute the procedure that starts
;everything up
EXIT ;Exit IDL when everything is done
This can be executed in the same manner as above.
I hope this helps.
