Can I build projects using a command line tool?
for example using:

> miabuild.exe -single "C:\\My Projects Folder\\project1\\MyProject.mia"

or something else?

Regards

Yes, of course! The correct command line parameters are described in the help, or if you run the tool without any parameters from the command line.

Great !

But I have an error when I launch it.

My command lines looks like:

Code: Select all

>miabuild.exe "Path to project file\\MyProject.mia"

that gives:

Code: Select all

InstallAware
Command Line Build Utility

ERROR: '' is not a valid integer value

Program returned code : 3

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks

You build the MPR file, not the MIA file.

Thanks a lot

It will be great if you can update the error message for this one. I wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out what caused that error (I was also attempting to build the .mia file)

I second scott's suggestion as I was bitten by this too. Nothing slows down development like non-helpful error messages.

Hi

I cannot pass variables as parameters during build.

I have following code in script:

Code: Select all

Set Variable COMMANDLINE to $CMDLINE$
if Variable COMMANDLINE Contains (Ignore Case) VERSION
  Set Variable VERSION to $VERSION$
End

And this is my command line:

Code: Select all

miabuild.exe "Demo1.mpr" VERSION=10

This does not pass version with value 10. I have tried for variable watch on both variables CMDLINE and COMMANDLINE but both variables are blank. And the VERSION variable is set to the value I have given in wizard. Please let me know where I have done the mistake.

Thanks.

Dear User,

first of all I suggest to you to have a look to InstallAware Docs regarding "Building from the Command Line" (as usual press F1 in IA IDE).

By the way, You're trying to build from the command line passing a script variable but the command line build options accepts COMPILER VARIABLE.

For example:

passing: miabuild.exe "MyTest.mpr" MYCOMPILERVAR=1234

In your script should have:

[compiler if Variable MYCOMPILERVAR Equals 1234]
MessageBox: debug, Test Compiler Variable
[compiler end]
