[Help] Using the actual purebasic compiler?

..::Origin::.. · Post by **..::Origin::..** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 1:31 pm

Has anyone ever written a guide or example on how to use the purebasic compiler? By this i mean for example creating an executable from some source. If so could i see it? Serious posters only please...I don't want to be bombarded by "Open PureBasic, go into Compiler and create executable"'s. :roll:

Thanks for reading. - Orig

RTFM! All commandline parameters for the compiler are listed in the docs.

Doh, i found it. *feels like an idiot*

I suppose there's no way to use the compiler in some sort of CLI manner, is there?

For example telling the compiler: CreateFile(0,"test")
WriteStringN(0,"test")
CloseFile(0)

All in different sessions yet having it still all work?

In PureBasic 4.10, the 'CompilerInterface.txt' in the LibrarySDK folder might be what you
are looking for.

The compiler doesn't support writing a particular string to a particular file at a particular position by using commandline. You could hack a basic interpreter together for this task.

I think you're looking for the command "echo".

To compile a file: pbcompiler file.pb
To see available options: pbcompiler /?

give the poor guy a break.. I've just tried to find a ref in the help file for this text file and there is none (or maybe the help search is not effective). It would be helpful to add a note at the end of the help file section "Commandline options for the IDE" something like 'For more information, please refer to 'CompilerInterface.txt' in the Library SDK folder, because certainly this txt file is not such an obvious find.

That file is not for interacting with the IDE from the command line. type pbcompiler /? to get information on that.
