How to Build .exe file from .app file dynamically?

I am working with application developed by Gupta, this Application is divided by 9 modules, For building .exe file from each .app file, I can do it easily via

Project > Build

enter image description here

I am repeating the above steps for each module.

Is there smart way for building all EXEs with one click as one bat file?

Appreciate any help.

Solution

  • You can build Gupta source code with command line: If you want to compile to .exe then use

    cbi63.exe -b "sourcefile" "destinationfile"

    in your case this is something like 

    cbi63.exe -b "ktonline.app" "ktonline.exe"

    If you want to compile to .apd use

    cbi63.exe -m "sourcefile" "destinationfile"

    This works with all Gupta versions. You just have to adjust cbiXXX.exe to your IDE version (e.g. cbi71.exe).
