Jason, I havent been following it... however the issues are :-
1. Prior to D5, the IDE used a different file to the commandline compiler
for its switches. In D5 - they royally stuffed it up. You can not have
different options for the IDe as comapred to teh commandline. What I do is
that the IDE compilation is for debugging and the commandline one is for
production.
The solution for this - I have command line siwtches in a file called
app.gfc. In the batch file to make the app, I copy the *.gfc to *.cfg thus
overwriting the fiddling done by IDE. Then I compile the apps.
2. The directories/paths are different for the IDE and the commandline -
crazy I know. Therefore you have to tell the commandline compiler all the
path info as well. Unfortunately if you put this in the app.cfg file, the
IDE will trash it next time you go into it.. hence my solution above.
As for how you configure it, attached is a sample file.... the name must be
yourappname.cfg And delete dcc32.cfg if present anywhere... as that
overrides the apps cfg file.
NOte the LE and LN commands these are for depositing the packages etc. And
there are four path commands - I just set them all to the same string.
The /lu are to build with these packages those packages. Just run the dcc32
without parameters.
for help

The problem is the compiler is not rebuilding the dcu files, even though
I have specified the /b switch to build all ?

Does it change if you build from the IDE?
(Do a "rebuild all" - i'm not sure Delphi is smart enough
to detect that a change in the "conditionals" could require
a recompile of units referencing them)
If it doesn't work in the IDE either then your
ShowMessage isn't getting called even if it's included in
the build. (Can't tell why from what you've shown)

Well I tried that, but for some reason the dll does not change?
dcc32 "J:\My Documents\Delphi 5 Projects\MyProj\MyProj.dpr"
/DACTIVEDESKTOP /B /Q
and in one of my units I have
{$IFDEF ACTIVEDESKTOP}
ShowMessage('Active Desktop');
{$ENDIF}

oh sorry - i misunderstood.
i thought you didn't want to use the command line complier
but thought you might have to to get the switches.
use the /D option to the command line compiler to pass
in the switches to define.
>From the help:
The conditional defines option
The /D option lets you define conditional symbols, corresponding to the
{$DEFINE symbol} compiler directive. The /D option must be followed by
one or more conditional symbols separated by semicolons (;). For
example, the following command line
DCC32 MYSTUFF /DIOCHECK;DEBUG;LIST
defines three conditional symbols, iocheck, debug, and list, for the
compilation of MYSTUFF.PAS. This is equivalent to inserting
{$DEFINE IOCHECK}
{$DEFINE DEBUG}
{$DEFINE LIST}
at the beginning of MYSTUFF.PAS. If you specify multiple /D directives,
you can concatenate the symbol lists. Therefore,
DCC32 MYSTUFF /DIOCHECK/DDEBUG/DLIST
is equivalent to the first example.
