Windows batch script for tools menu
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2004 1:31 am
This Windows batch script will help you find the PureBasic compiler on any system. Useful for the "Tools" menu (I use it for recompiling windows.res and compiling to assembly).
NOTE: The character after "delims=" is a tab character and must be so. If in doubt, check with a hex editor, or set your text editor to use tabs rather than convert to spaces.
Feel free to post corrections if this doesn't work on your config. I haven't tested it on Win 9x/ME (which you'll need to change the start of the "find_compiler" routine - in fact, it probably doesn;t work on those systems :).
Oh, there's some extra crappy "echo"s in there, guess you won't need them except for debugging, when a pause at the end of your main script (in this case, the line before "goto end") would be needed.

Code: Select all
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
IF DEFINED echo Parameter 1 is %1
IF DEFINED echo Parameter 2 is %2
IF DEFINED echo Parameter 3 is %3
call :find_compiler "pbcompiler.exe"
echo found at -=%PUREBASIC%\Compilers\pbcompiler.exe=-
goto end
REM Label "find_compiler" is used to get the path to the
REM PureBasic compiler. First it checks the command path
REM and if that fails, it checks whether there is a
REM "PUREBASIC" environment variable set. Failing that, it
REM checks some hardcoded likely locations (e.g. C:\Program
REM Files\PureBasic, etc).

REM If that fails then you're boned and should probably set one of them ;)
