Just wanted an opinion. When most of you are coding large Modules,
for instance say modules with several Files, and hundreds of lines
of code (even thousands of lines of code), do you compile
iteratively or do you write out all modules then just try
and have it run in one ant file (eliminating an error
piece by piece)?

Just a question... I'm sure its simply a matter of preference...

Reason I'm asking is coz I don't use any of the IDEs
(I figure most of them take away from the learning
process)... Hence I don't have code stubs for the
larger projects and I usually have to finish them
all off before compilation...

What do u mean by iteratively?

I think u just need to compile the changed file and the dependent files. This may translate into no.f of files if dependeny list is big.

Better way could be write a makefile. That will automatically take care of compiliing only the changed files and dependent files.

To an extent its true. But once you know the fundamentals of compilation and running a prog, suggestion will be jump into some IDE as they are quite efficient in handling those aspects of software development.
