Compile

The process of creating an executable program from code written in a compiled programming language that allows the computer to run the program without the need of the programming software used to create it.  When a program is compiled it is often compiled for a specific platform such as an IBM platform, which would work with any IBM compatible computers but not other platforms such as the Apple Macintosh platform. Below are some examples of compiled programming languages.

C
C++
