Build from the command line

[xwb]

Are there any free versions of Delphi that will build from the command line? I'm doing overnight builds and batch scripts from the command line are a lot easier to manage than GUIs.

I've tried Turbo Explorer 2006 but after a painful 600Mb download, it appears that that only runs from a GUI.

The Win32 Delphi's used to have the DCC32.exe commandline compiler, don't know if TD also has that?
AFAIK, TD is .NET based, so maybe you can use MSBuild to script/automate the build process?

The command-line compiler option (DCC32.EXE) is a for-pay option and does not appear in Turbo Delphi Explorer 2006.

Measurement is not management.

Thanks for that - I'll resurrect one of the free copies from an old mag.
