Title: Using Prepb
Post by: Ian Jones on April 11, 2005, 02:11:57 PM
I am having problems using Semen Matusovski's Prepb ( a wrapper for pbwin ) . Whenever I replace pbwin.exe with another application Firefly hangs even if it only the new application only displays the command line. Please can you tell me how firefly calls pbwin.exe

FireFly simply SHELL's to the compiler and passes it the following:

e.g.

PBWIN.EXE /IC:\PB70\INCLUDE /L /Q "mainfile.bas"

If the command is longer than 150 characters then it will create a temporary file and copy the command line into it. It then uses PB's /C compiler command to compile using the configuration file.
