Hi, thanks all for responding, I may have a look spawning a Nant task from Powershell to get the checkout / compilation done. The reason I used Powershell was because I can get it integrated with an asp.net page and display the results via the web (useful for doing remote builds on a server).

Jumping in a bit late here... but, I build on the command line using ant after checking code out of a cvs repos. Here are the pertinent sections from my build script... <!-- Need this in order to define the flex tasks that we will use --> <taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks" classpath="${proj.dir.thirdparty}/flex/ant_tasks/flexTasks.jar" /> <!-- compile the flex code --> <target name="compileFlex" depends="cleanFlex"> <echo message="building flex source"/> <mxmlc file="${tait-flex.dir.src}/MainView.mxml" output="${proj-flex.dir.bin}/MainView.swf" actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8" keep-generated-actionscript="true" accessible="false" incremental="false"> <load-config filename="${proj.dir.flex}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/> <source-path path-element="${proj-flex.dir.src}"/> <compiler.library-path dir="${proj-flex.dir.thirdparty}/adobe/" append="true"> <include name="libs" /> <include name="datavisualization.swc" /> </compiler.library-path> </mxmlc> <echo message="done building flex source"/> </target> Notes: You will need to download the flexTasks.jar jar <http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks> file, and you may not need the datavisualization stuff... I have that for AdvancedDataGrid. hth Scott Mark Ingram wrote: Well that's exactly what I'm planning to do. I have a development server setup and I have a powershell script which can checkout specific revisions of code. The next step from here is to build those revisions and that's when I hit the brick wall :-) ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Edward Gruber Sent: 10 September 2007 16:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] How to build on command line? Depending on how you want to work from the command-line, there are also automated ways of doing it, using ant or maven. For one-shot efforts, or to test things out it's probably not worth it, but if you're going to build often from the command-line, you might want to consider using an automated build system and configure it to work with your config. regards, Christian.
