1. A method of compiling source code, involving a pre-processing step for including an additional source code file into the source code prior to generating target code from the source code, comprising the steps of:
- accessing the additional source code file on a remote server;
augmenting the source code with the additional source code file to create augmented source code;
compiling the augmented source code to generate target code; and
saving a local copy of the additional source code file after generation of the target code for use in a subsequent compilation of source code.

Abstract
A method of compiling source code, involving a pre-processing step for including at least one additional source code file into the source code prior to generating target code from the source code. The proposed method further comprises the steps of: establishing, during the pre-processing step, at least one network connection to at least one remote server; and downloading the additional source code file from the remote server.

11. A compiler for compiling source code, the compiler comprising a pre-processor adapted to include an additional source code file into the source code prior to generating target code from the source code, comprising:
-
means for accessing the additional source code file on a remote server; means for augmenting the source code with the additional source code file to create augmented source code; means for compiling the augmented source code to generate target code; and means for saving a local copy of the additional source code file after generation of the target code for use in a subsequent compilation of source code. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
