how to compile a pascal module from command line

[crisUnipv]

Is it possible to compile a pascal module outside BlackBox framework and after use it from BlackBox?
I usually compile by choosing the item "compile" from "Dev" menu, but now I need to compile by launching a script file and then run the compiled module from BlackBox.
I'have tried by compiling with CPcc 1.1.4 but it doesn't seem to work.

Maybe you should have a look at the Bb subsystem by Oleg N. Cher: https://github.com/Oleg-N-Cher/XDev
It consists of two modules, BbCmdLine and BbConsole, which provide access to and output to the Windows command line.

Hoping that might help,
Regards,

You can make console version of BlackBox 1.6 by this tutorial:

This is actual link to the repository: http://gitlab.molpit.org/oberon/blackbox-freenix

The second option is to use bbscript.exe from Center continuous integration system.
http://blackboxframework.org/makeapp/bbscript.exe
You can put compilation instructions to instructinos.txt file and then run

Code: Select all

bbscript.exe /PAR instructinos.txt

Hello, by following your suggestion I've been able to compile blackbox 1.7 with bbscript.exe and include new pascal modules.
Unfortunately, I need to do the same thing with BlackBox 1.5. In fact, this is the version that I can use to include Winbugs1.4 and WBDev interface.
Is it possible to use bbscript.exe also with this version? In BlackBox 1.5 I don't have the "appbuild" folder, and the Sym and Code directories as in BlackBox 1.7.
Thanks for any help.

You can try to prepare bbscript for 1.5. There are necessary files:
https://github.com/BlackBoxCenter/black ... Script/Mod

Code: Select all

# to rebuild 'bbscript.exe' run:  bbscript.exe /PAR "newbbscript.txt"

# the result will be writen to 'newbbscript.exe'

^Q DevCompiler.CompileThis DevCPM Config

^Q — means commander.

Thank you for the answer.

I have created the Script/Mod folder and copied in the three files (DevCPM Config and Build)
I have tried to run bbscript.exe /PAR newbbscript.txt, but I get an error.

The StdLog.txt reports the following error:

invoking DevCompiler.CompileThis
compiling "DevCPM" pos 20629, err 0
TRAP caught

Can it be caused by the BlackBox Version (1.5)?
To complete the information: in BlackBox 1.5 folder I have copied all the files necessary to run WinBugs1.4. (if necessary, I can also provide the WinBugs installation log file)

Thanks for the help.

[Ivan Denisov]

Please, compile from BlackBox 1.5 to see the error marks in the code.
Just copy the text I post above to BlackBox and replace ^Q to commanders.
Then push this commanders.

Please, provide links to 1.5 you are using and WinBugs1.4 for I can help you with some experiment.

[crisUnipv]

Please, you can find attached the content of the TRAP error window.
Regarding the links to BlackBox 1.5 and WinBUgs 1.4 I'll be able to provide them later.
Thank you for the help.
