Compiling string files

The source string files (with .str extension) must be compiled to binary files (with .42s extension) in order to be loaded by the runtime system.

To compile a source string file, use the fglmkstr compiler.

$ fglmkstr filename.str

The fglmkstr tool generates a .42s file with the filename prefix.

Important: When compiling a .str source string file, you must set the locale (character set) corresponding to the encoding used in the .str file.
