An executable is constructed via compiling and linking. Compiling translates the source code of a file into binary code. The resulting file is called object file. Object files that belong to one build artifact (like a library or executable) are, then, linked to form the build artifact. Oftentimes, this is done in on step, e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio C++ has a compiler-linker.
