Use the component from Tool Palatte
You cannot compile the files by themselves. You have to add them to a project first. If you want to install them into the IDE's component palette (assuming one or both of them implements a Register()
function), you have to create a new "Package" project, add the files to that project, then you can Compile the project and Install the package.
