2 Building Your Program
2.1 Gen directories
It is easiest to run the compiler from the directory containing your source files. During the first compile, Vortex creates a subdirectory of the current directory called gen which becomes the gen directory for your application. The program's executable is created in this directory. Its name is the name of the application's main file with the suffix removed. For example, if your program is called mypoint.cecil, the executable will be gen/mypoint.
If you have several applications, just put the sources for each application in their own directory, so each application has its own gen directory. (Section 2.4.3 explains how to adjust the gen directory.)
