Re-compiling

[Brian]

Hi,

If you have a finished program, and have all the files needed (.a, .o, .rc, .res, etc) from your
successfully compiled IWB program, is it possible to re-compile those files into an exe without
having IWB installed on your PC?

I'm thinking of my PC at work. I don't particularly need IWB on it, as I'm not employed as a
programmer, but would like to re-compile this one program I've written as needed

If so, what files would I need on the re-compiling PC to make this work?

Many thanks,

Brian

Have you tried the 2.5 beta.  You can install that on a jump drive and compile from it?

Hi, Bill,

Yes, I knew about that, but the PCs at work have the USB slots and DVD drives disabled!

There must be a command line option that puts it all together somehow, without the IDE

Basically you would need everything in the bin folder, the libs folder and the include folder
And then you would need a separate exe to put things together that duplicates a bunch of subroutines that are in the ide.

So basically, to get around the problem you have, you would have to zip your IWBDEV folder minus the help files and projects/examples and send it to yourself.

Thinking outside of the box.

Maybe you could have some one on the outside, that you trust, who would take your modified source, recompile it and then send the EXE back to you.

Just a thought,
Bill
