A "Compile" directive (param) would be nice
« on: October 27, 2005, 07:48:13 AM »

Hello!

I'm pretty happy with the way everything works, but I would really like to see either a command line compiler, or a compiler directive when opening project manager. (I've trawled through the forums and found there's no way to compile from the command line. Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

For example :
ProjectMan.exe -Compile "c:\WMEProjects\Project1\project.wpr"

Something so I can compile my project from a 3rd party application. If you're worried about people ripping off your work, just make project manager stay on the screen when it's done. :-)

Anyway, there we go! Just a thought.

That's a dilemma. I'm working on the new toolset, which should, ideally, wrap all the functionality like this into nice clean .NET assemblies, usable from 3rd party tools. That's why I'm not too happy about making some big changes to the current tools.
On the other hand, given my current workload (and laziness:)) it will probably take ages until the new .NET stuff is finished...
That said, I'll look into how much work would that be to separate the project compilation from the GUI, but I'm afraid currently it's tied quite a lot to the underlying "document" class in ProjectMan.

That's ok! I'm a programmer too, and so understand that it's not just a case of writing a five lined function. :)

Laziness is good. :P
