Logging Delphi Compilations 1

[Stretchwickster]

Is there a way to keep a log of every compilation/build done in Delphi 6, and perhaps log the time it takes to compile/build the source code?

Anyone got any ideas how I could capture this information? A pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Time for a new sig a bit of DNA I think will scan books and get back to you.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve, but the linker map file is overwritten each time Delphi is compiled and it doesn't give any compile/build time.

I need to be able to log the number of times Delphi compiles/builds and the time per compilation/build. Any ideas?

It's not exactly what you ask, but comes quite close ;-)

Thank you Tonhu - you've given me a lead in the right direction!

Fact is, I once wrote a build program for a client that did just that. The trick is to use the IDE just for DEV and debugging. Once satisfied with your code, open a command prompt window and call the command-line compiler to do your final build. One advantage to this is that you can have a different dot cfg file to do the build. For example, I always have RangeCheck ON in the IDE, but not in my project.cfg file, since it bloats the size of the exe. From the command line (or in my case the build program) call DCC32 and pipe the output to a file. Example: “C:\Delphi5\bin\dcc32 –B Project1 > ver487.log” Your compiler output will be preserved in file “ver467.log”
