[DUG] Attaching an executable to a project build

[Dave Jollie]

Hi Jeremy,

I'm using 2006. The first option you mention would be good, but I'm
wanting to build the rc text file on the fly, based on files in a
directory, when the build occurs. So having Delphi automatically compile
for me is only half my answer.

I googled and found http://www.tempest-sw.com/opentools/
It mentions Delphi 3 and 4. Will this work with 2006? Is this much of a
learning curve? Any sample code re the BeforeCompile event, would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Dave

Dave,

What version of Delphi are you using? With Delphi 2006 you can add a
text file with an RC extension that contains the resource information
and it will be compiled for you before the project is built.

Failing that, you can use the Open Tools API and handle the
BeforeCompile event. If you need some sample code for that let me
know.

cheers,
Jeremy
