Add Build Commands

Execute Command As:

Batch File

Use this option to enter multiple commands, which are executed as entered in a command window; the command window has access to your environment variables.

Process

Use this option to run a single program.

The command should specify the path to the program, plus any command line arguments; if the executable path or any arguments contain spaces, they must be surrounded by quotes.

Analyzer Script Editor

Build Script

Write your script in the large text box, using the standard Windows Command Line commands; the format and content of this section depends on the actual compiler, make system, linker and so on that you use to build your project.

You can specify, for example, compiler and linker options, and the names of output files; you can also wrap up all these commands into a convenient batch file and call that here instead.

When building using the Process option from above, you can add the %r token immediately preceding the files to be built. Enterprise Architect will recursively replace the token with the names of the child directories of the initial directory and execute the command again.

Examples:

Visual Studio:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" /Rebuild Debug RentalSystem.sln

Using a Local Path:

"%VsCompPath%\devenv.exe" /build Debug Subway.sln

Java:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin\javac.exe"  -g -cp "%classpath%;." %r*.java

Using a Local Path:

"%JAVA%\bin\javac.exe"  -g -cp "%classpath%;." %r*.java

Local Paths

Default Directory

Type in or browse for the default directory path into which the Build commands are to load the built application files.

Parse Output

This enables you to select a method for automatically parsing the compiler output.

If you select this option, output from the script is logged in the System Output window; Enterprise Architect parses the output according to the syntax you specify.
