I wonder if this is possible using the bcc32.exe. What i need to do is to compile the bpk from command prompt using some Borland C++Builder command-line utility. I should also be able to give the search path and output libraries, etc. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance. -- Sam Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2004 6:54 pm    Post subject: Re: Compiling packages from command-line "Sam" <anishsam (AT) gnostice (DOT) com> wrote Quote: What i need to do is to compile the bpk from command prompt using some Borland C++Builder command-line utility.

As far as I know, you should be able to just specify the .BPK file for the package's project. A BPR/BPK file is partly a makefile in its own right, and last time I checked, BCC32 could process those files.

I guess its unable to read the .BPK file. I suppose there should be some kind of directive which will tell BCC32 that the input file is a .BPK file. I am not able to find any such option in the help. -- Sam.

The link is: [url]http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/jvcl/dev/JVCL3/packages/MakeBCB.bat?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.9[/url] but that may be a little too complex to handle as we start from a BPG file. So here is what you need to do for each package (extracted from the makefile generated from the bpg file): JvCoreC6R.bpl: bcb6JvCoreC6R.bpk cd packages $(ROOT)binbpr2mak -t..BCB.bmk $** $(ROOT)binmake -$(MAKEFLAGS) -f$*.mak cd .. the key is to convert the borland project (.bpk or .bpr) to a make file and then build this file using make. The -t option in the call to bpr2mak is to force using our own template, but if you don't specify it, it uses the default one which should be enough in most cases. bpr2mak comes with BCB and $(ROOT) is the place where BCB is installed. Hope this helps Cheers Olivier Sannier JVCL Developer BCB Coordinator Back to top Sam Guest Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 6:40 am    Post subject: Re: Compiling packages from command-line Hi Olivier, Excellent tip.
