Delphi7 Batch Build Scripts

This is a base to create your own build scripts for the Delphi 7 project groups. Typical example is an Application and its' Test. The task here is to build each project and check the Test result.

This scripts allow you to run build with CI servers, e.g. Jenkins. Output goes to a console stdout so you can check build details in the Console Output.

Pre-conditions

1. Create a system environment variable Delphi7Bin with path to Delphi 7/Bin. Usually the Delphi 7/Bin is located in c:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\ or c:\Program Files(x86)\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\
2. Install madExcept exception handler. It's requred to patch the compiled exe after build to allow madExcept debug the application during execution. Note: You can remove madExcept patching by deleting :madExceptPatchBinary block and madExcept paths from INCLUDE_DIRS in BuildMyApp.bat .

Usage

• To build all targets exec BuildAll.bat
• To build one project run relevant batch file, e.g. BuildMyApp.bat, TestMyApp.bat.
• To add new build target:
  1. Create a copy of BuildMyApp.bat.
  2. Rename it as you need.
  3. Add created batch filename to the buildTargets variable in BuildAll.bat
  4. Try build.

To check the project is ready to be published run BuildMyAppDist.bat.
