VFP 9: Compiling in a VFP .exe

The build procedure for my app has gotten a bit more complicated,
so I want to automate it. How do I get build project and build exe to
execute in a VFP .exe called from the command line? I got a feature
not available message when I tried. There is a full VFP system on the
computer I used.

I am trying to get both the build and zip done in a batch file.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

Did you try automation on that one?, untested:
LOCAL loVFP as 'VisualFoxpro.Application'
loVFP = CREATEOBJECT('VisualFoxpro.Application')
loVFP.DoCmd([BUILD EXE from (GETFILE('pjx'))])

According to help topic "Distributable and Restricted Visual FoxPro Features and
Files" the BUILD commands are not available from an exe.

Maybe you "turn the inside out": add the call of your zipper (and the other
batch stuff) to the generating foxpro program. Then run it from IDE.

The EXE is using the runtime files, not the development IDE. The build
commands are not part of the runtime.
