View Full Version : Need SB to 'live' on server

Hi

I have a SQL based Internal tracking system and I have 4 programmers
actively developing and modifyinf solutions.

As soon as the system detects that all the release tests have passed, I want
the system to initiate a new release build that is internally distributed
for testing.

My question is |: ...

How do I get SB to 'live' somewhere on the server so it is accessable to
software to pass a command line BUILD to it....

( This should build the newer version (upgrade release version number, build
to a new EXE file name (fin200801setup.exe / fin200802setup.exe, etc) as
well as build the patch files for the last few releases...

It seems that when issueing a build via command line, the SB6 file is not
saved with the new information passed via command line...

Kind regards

Ben

Ben,

Of course, a command line compile *never* modifies the source codes or
project files! This is true for all development systems (Visual Studio,
SetupBuilder, etc.).

What you can do is to make use of the preprocessor. Save your variable
information in, say, INI files and read it at compile time (for example, in
compiler variables).

Does this help?
