Currently if I call "sbuilder.exe /C [project].sb5", sbuilder returns immediately, compiling in the background. I would love an option to make sbuilder block while compilation is in progress, returning control to my batch script only when finished so I can conclusively say "Installer is ready for deployment."
Any plans to support this? Alternately, do you know any esoteric command line chicanery to work around it?
Never mind, this appears to be working fine.
Thanks for the update!
Can you please post the fix for command line compiling to wait before returning? Thx.
Also, is a log file generated to indicate compile success or problems/failure?
A log file is generated in the directory with sbuilder.exe. I sure wish Linder would fix this:
a) Output on stderr/stdout would be much more useful and discoverable
b) Writing files to your program directory breaks when the user is not running as an Administrator.
Hmm, there is no known bug in this task. SB5 returns after it has finished. We are using this feature in all of our projects.
Hmmm... maybe it's just so fast that it returns in 2 secs! I'll check it out. Thx.
Please let me know what you find. To be on the safe side, I have tested this on clean Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 machines. SB5 compiled the script and then returned.
Thanks,
Hmm... What I find is that if I run SetupBuilder in a batch file, it returns when compilation is complete. If I run SetupBuilder straight from the command line, it returns immediately and continues to process in the background.
