Compilable Build Scripts

Some “build” products allow the build scripts to be compiled so that they can be used / run on a non-licensed machine. For example, a license is purchased for a “build developer” but the daily/nightly/weekly/etc build is performed on a separate non-development machine. The non-development machine has as little as possible installed - including no build software. Others, who know nothing about build software can modify an INI file and kick off a build. Meanwhile the build developer can be continually streamlining and enhancing the build process - uninterrupted.

Is this possible with FinalBuilder? Has it been considered?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

This is not possible with FinalBuilder. We have it on our R&D list to investigate the possibility of compiling a build project to make a stand alone exe.

What I suggest you do is to set up your project and then create a shortcut icon which will run FBCMD /p"your project file". Then all your users need to do is double-click the icon to run a build (of course you could set it up to read certain parameters from an ini file also).
