I am thinking of making a GUI engine to make gui's for dbp but i need to find out how to execute files with the dbp compiler!

I have searched around but most of the stuff doesn't usually work so if anyone would be so kind in helping me to understand how to make exe files with the dbpcompiler.exe without pressing f5 or execute buttons. Thank you

P.S - Have read something about _temp.dbsource, but not sure what it does,anyone know?

Search again.

Search for 'Calling the compiler from the commandline or an IDE' and you'll find *all* of the details you need, from someone who has already done this.

That is EVERYTHING you need to know.

Look what else turned up in the search

edit 2:
basically, you need to chuck all the source into 1 dba file called "_Temp.dbsource" and put that in the same folder as the .dbpro file, then run the compiler with the .dbpro as an arguement.

What folder were u running DBPCompile.exe from? You either need to add the compiler folder (C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Compiler) to the system path or you need to CD into that folder before you run the command...

Right, This is what I have done.
I have made a folder C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\hello.

In that file I have made 3 files.
_Temp.dbsource
a.dba
a.dbpro


The _Temp.dbsource has the dba in it, but when I put the full directory into cmd but it dosn't recognis the command c:\. What do I do!

The compiler exe is named DBPCompileR.exe NOT DBPCompile.exe.

do you even know how to use DOS?

do CD "c:\program files\..blah..\..blah..\"

c:\ is not a command, its a folder

use speech marks - the space sepeates the path

either that or convert the long dir's and file's into 8 characters.. its easier to use speechmarks tho

The command line should read:

DBProCompiler "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\hello\a.dbpro", "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Projects\hello\"

Keaz, your ''s didn't copy correctly, and you're ': P's in 'C: Program' turned into smileys
Here is what Keaz meant to say (with correct code syntax, paths, ''s, and without s)
