I’m about to make a decision on whether to buy madExcept or EurekaLog, and right now, I’m leaning towards the latter. So obviously I started Final Builder, and was disappointed to see that EurkaLog is not supported (though madExcept is).  
  
Not that big a deal, of course, since I can always piece everything together myself calling the command line tools etc., but an action would be nice.

Well, first of all, this is obviously in the wrong forum - sorry. This is about Final Builder, as mentioned.  
  
Second, I noticed the “Use ecc32.exe” option of the Delphi Compiler action. Now I just need to figure out how to tell it which config file to load/use.

Hi Michael,  
  
Yes, the two tools work in quite different ways, which is why madExcept has a separate action and Eureka log is an option in the delphi compiler. And, as far as Eureka log is concerned, FB calls the ecc32 compiler instead of dcc32 and Eureka log figures out the rest (as far as I know there is no way to specify which config file to use).

Tate,   
  
thanks for the reply. It seems like EurekaLog stores it’s config for a project in the bdsproj file - which is good enough for me, I just want it to be in Version Control.  
  
For everybody who wants to use a separate config file, you could try the “Extra command line options” field of the Delphi compiler action. I have not tried it, but I would assume it is passed on to ecc32.exe as well, so you could place the --el\_config parameter there.
