Start by creating a new folder, since you can't compile within the program files folder.
So, I have d:\xx\animator, d:\xx\inc and d:\xx\lib, which keep copies of the similar folders from samples.
Now open mapbasic and compile lib\Resstrng.mb and animator\animator.mb.
Finally open the project file, animator\ani_proj.mbp and hit "Compile > Link".
Now you have animator.mbx
It would be cool if mapbasic could compile modules listed in a project file on its own, but unfortunately not. You have to do it manually for every file referenced in the mbp file.
