Hi,

I start the build process from a windows service the following way:

C:\Programme\FinalBuilder 5\FBCMD.exe /P"C:\AutoBuild.1595\OT82\_1.fbp5" /V"Mode=New";VersionBuild=1595;PatchFiles="Crq\_Src\OtServer\OtService.cpp=Patches\OtService.cpp

Crq\_Src\OtServer\PushActionCache.cpp=Patches\PushActionCache.cpp

Crq\_Src\OtServer\ServerMobileDevices.cpp=Patches\ServerMobileDevices.cpp";PatchBuildNumber="1570";PathLocal=C:\AutoBuild.1595; /C

I extra escaped the line for the PatchFiles with quotes. But I got the error: "Error - variable doesn't exist: Crq\_Src\OtServer\PushActionCache.cpp"

What to do?

Regards,

Christian

FBCMD doesn’t currently support multiline command line parameters. You can either change the CRLF to some other character (and then change it back in your build process), or get your build process to read the values from a file.
