'nother thing our build does. Our build process also patches the executables with madExcept. This is done automatically in the IDE when you do an IDE build, but you need to do it explicitly when you're doing a command line build. Cheers, C.
________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Conor Boyd We build quite a number of plugins for our application (i.e. separate Delphi projects), plus do a lot of translation and branding work (I work for a joint venture between Caterpillar and Trimble, and the same product gets branded differently (logos, splash screens, etc) for the different parent companies), so we've quite an extensive build process which in part makes multiple calls to the command line compiler. Plus version numbers, automatically turning assertions off, setting conditional defines, compiling resource files, etc. After all that, it then calls InstallShield from the command line to build the installers. I'll be interested to look into MSBuild, but it would be quite a job to port our current build script to it. Thanks for the feedback from everybody. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Barker I've never bothered with the command line compiler before. What differences in settings do you all make for release versions? I suppose it gets around the old problem of leaving datasets open at design time and forgetting to close them before compiling a release version. That's about all I tend to change, except maybe the internal version number. regards, Steve ________________________________ From: Rohit Gupta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You will have to install the whole thing. The change is just in their policy. I have always the command line compiler on another PC for compiling release versions. :-) I guess they are just telling you the the command line compiler does not check for rego info. Conor Boyd wrote: Hi, I'm intending to take advantage of the small change in the BDS2007 license which allows for the installation of the command line compiler to a separate PC for the purpose of executing automated builds. Has anybody on the list done this already? Is it simply a matter of copying the command line compiler executable to the other machine, or is there slightly more to it. Had a quick google on this, and couldn't find much in the way of resources on the subject. Thanks for any pointers anybody may have.
