problem with VLISP-COMPILE

[Lt Dan's legs]

When starting acad this morning and dropping a newly created lsp into the workspace i received this error:

** Error: no function definition: VLISP-COMPILE

 

What did I forget to do?? It seems if I have vlide open it works fine...

Was (vl-load-com) loaded prior to this function?

I included this at the very begining under (defun

vlisp-compile

 

Compiles AutoLISP source code into a FAS file

 

(vlisp-compile '[i]modefilename [out-filename][/i])\

 

 

Note The Visual LISP IDE must be open in order for vlisp-compile to work.

 

 

 

You might try using VLIDE projects, and manually compiling, as we discussed previously.

The program only works if vlide was previously open before running. I'm just wondering what I did wrong

The program only works if vlide was previously open before running.

 

 

...and therefore no longer open, at the time you run your compiler?
