emake.exe

[WWeber]

Why is it necessary that the project file has to have the extension .cbproj?
It took me a lot of time to figure this out - I always thought the exe file was not right compiled/linked!
I don't want to use Eurekalog in the IDE but only on command line.

Hi WWeber,

try to use the --el_config emake.exe option (but you must add the ExceptionLog.pas unit to your project).

See here:
http://www.eurekalog.com/docs/command_linecompiler.html

As the doc says

EurekaLog command line compiler add the following new options:

• "--el_config", use it to compile your project with a different EurekaLog option file;
Example: --el_config"new_eurekalog_optionfile"

• "--el_alter_exe", use it not to compile your project but only to add the EurekaLog debug info into a just compiled project (you can optionally specify the compiled file full output);
C++Builder example: --el_alter_exe"MakeFile.mak" or --el_alter_exe"ProjectFile.bpr[;ProjectFile.exe]"



I'm assuming "--el_config" does a build process. I actually want to simply add the debug info w/o any compile/build. Even in the example there is not mentioned, that the "ProjectFile" should have a specific extension.
Well, I fixed this by just giving the eureka_option_file the extension ".cbproj".

Hi WWeber,

excuse me but I don't understand what is your real problem to simply using the emake.exe command-line compiler with the simple project file name.

Can you explain the problem with more details to me, please? :)

Thank you!

I have no Eurekalog options in the project file! The whole section you automatically add is not existing there, as I removed it. This way the project file is an original c++builder file.

I created a so called "project file" by hand, just holding the Eurekalog section. This file I named "Eureka.set". But this file can't be used with emake.exe as emake expects a .cbproj extension. So I wondered why it is absolutely necessary that emake requires this specific extension.

Hi WWeber,

can you send to my your project file, EurekaLog Options file and script used to build your project, please?
