Automated builds are only possible by starting TD with these command line options:

-b
-m


See
https://wiki.tdcommunity.net/index.php/Compile_Build

You can create batch files to compile/build multiple executables or dynalibs like this example:

Code: Select all

cbi61.exe -b main.apt  main.exe
cbi61.exe -b producteditor.apt  producteditor.exe
cbi61.exe -m customer.apt  customer.apd
cbi61.exe -m product.apt  product.apd
Here TD 61 (=cbi61.exe) is used to build. Replace this by the needed TD version.
(For TD42 you will have cbi42.exe)

To be more in control, you can also create your own automatic builder application.
From this application you can execute a build using SalLoadAppAndWait.

Before build you can remove any .err file present in the folder and after building check if a .err file was created which indicates an error occurred during build.

Another advantage creating your own builder application: using CDK you can automatically change build version settings before the actual build is done.
