Of course a batch file is nothing more than a txt file with bat extension an containing that what you would enter in the MS DOS Command prompt.

Set the enviroment varibal "path" to include the path to your Java interpreter and it will work on all comps

v0.5a is here
Corrected a bug in version a.

Here are the changes:

-Removed bug which could delete *.res files
-Corrected some typos
-Added function to precompile a *.cpp or *.c file
-Added function to get a *.lib from a *.dll
-Added function to convert a *.cpp or *.c file to an *.asm file
-Added function to export functions in dll without namedecoration
-Started writting help file



Well it's finished my new version of batmaker.

Here are the new features:
-Completly rewrote the program
-Multiple source & resource files
-You can link in compiled *.obj and *.res files
-You can set the compiler path
-You can set the PE name
-You can set the name of the log file
-You can rename the compile.bat
-Settings are saved in the batch file so next time you run the program you will not need to set all settings but only those that change
-Many compiler option (Planning on adding)

You can get it from my site (link in sig).
Please tell me what you think and report all bugs you find.

This is an excellent program!

I haven't done any major changes on mine, it works fine right now so I don't see any reason to change it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thanks

Very nice, I bet his could be modified to make Batch files for java, because to run a java program you must open the MS DOS Command prompt and cd to the folder and then type java and the name of the program (for newer comps only) on older ones there is a huge line you have to type to run a Java application.

This is a very very nice program to use with borland c++ 5. Makes everything all so easy. Thanks for the nice program DrVoodoo :D

I found a rather important bug you should know of:
When you link a compiled *.res file (I don't mean *.rc) it is deleted after the batch file has been executed. This does not happen for *.obj files.

Oh well not that important after all because you rarely link *.res.

I'll correct it for the next update.
EDIT:Corrected

I'm planing on adding:
-Controling the names of exported function names in dll* EDIT:added
-MFC compatiblilty*
-Function to create a *.lib from an existing *.dll EDIT:added
-Function to transform a C/C++ source file into a macro expanded source file* EDIT:added
-Function to transform a C/C++ source file into an ASM source file EDIT:added


*Not sure if it will work

Great program! I haven't tried it before today, cause i couldn't get dialogs workin on dev-c++, so i moved to BCC. It's very useful! I'm gonna look and see what's inside the .bat.

Thanks :) .

BTW the *.bat files contain more than is actually needed, you can remove all ligns starting with : echo or color and it will still work. Althought batmaker wont reconize it anymore and not be able to read the settings from it.

heh... i looked inside the file :D Its just what i like doing. Which relates to me taking everything thats electrical apart :P

a a

???

DrVoodoo.. I like your program a lot. I got fed up with dev c++ do I switched to borland command line and used this for a ide. Thanks again! :)

IDE? It's not an IDE.

lines like this for example? :P
