 Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 4:13 pm Post subject: Specifying EXE name from code |
 |
|
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any way that I can specify from code, what
name the compiler will create the .exe with.
Basically, I build different version of software using #define statements to
change what code is compiled etc. It would be very handy if in those
defines I could tell the compiler to output a different filename for each
different version. It would make my life a whole lot easier.
I'm using Borland C++ Builder 5.
Thanks in advance. |

You can't do that. The base project name is the same as that of the base
executable. What you can do is to create multiple projects and for each set
a define under Project|Options|Directories/Conditionals to control the
conditional compilation.

Hi Andrew, |
if you switch to using makefiles (maybe only for the release builds?)
you could give any name you want to tho the resulting binaries, IIRC.

There isn't any way to do that in code. The EXE is always named from
the .bpr file itself.

You will have to create different .bpr files, each with its own set of
defines in the Conditionals section of the Project Options. You could
then put them all into a project group and do a mass compile when
needed.
Alternatively, use build scripts to rename the EXE after the compile
is finished. You could run the same .bpr through the command-line
compiler, specifying different Conditional values as needed. You
could then have a different script for each filename you want to
support.

Many thanks for the info guys, looks like i'll have to use a mix of
different .bpr files and/or scripts as suggested.
