I recently been requested by my manager to hop on on an old client’s software’s written in Borland Builder 5 and Borland Builder 6 (Yes, extremely old, but rewriting and replacing these programs will cost millions. so maintenance is preferable…)
anyway, I’ve been requested to check the option to implement a CI pipeline for these programs using Azure devops.
my question is, How can i compile both programs from CMD?
I’ve seen the following:
- How do I build project files and packages for Borland C++ Builder 5 from the command line?
- Why can’t the Borland C++ Builder 5 command line compiler find my files?
- What is the difference between building C++ Builder project from IDE and command line?
No. 1 provided the most help (wimh answer), but it seems that i miss more flags and the make fails… (how can i know)?
and several others, but none helped.
I know that these two IDEs are EXTREMELY old, but this does not look like a such complicated task.
hence i require your help.
Many thanks!
- i also have a Builder 2009 project, where i have the option to see the command line it uses to compile, and using that i was able to implement a CI for that particular program, but in builder 5 and 6 i dont see that option. also, Process Explorer didn’t help…
ive done several in-depth google searches, and tried exploring the Builder 5 and 6 proccess using Process Explorer, and consulting several employees in our company, but that did not help unfortunately.
