An alternate spelling of compilable, meaning able to be compiled or converted into a unified whole or machine-readable form.
From compile + -able, with the -e- retained before the suffix. This variant spelling reflects the optional retention of final 'e' before vowel suffixes in English, creating both 'compilable' and 'compileable' as acceptable forms.
The two spellings 'compilable' and 'compileable' reveal English's ongoing struggle with how to add suffixes to words ending in 'e'—there's no rule that works perfectly, so both forms exist in technical documentation and dictionaries, confusing even careful writers.
