[SOLVED] Automating a compilation.

[Bazzao]

In my project, in Lazarus IDE, I have a directive

{$DEFINE Test01}

that defines development / testing values (eg filenames etc).

When I want to compile a production version, I have to turn off test01, compile, turn Test01 back on.

Then I run a batch file to copy the exe to the production area.

How to I automate the compilation, turning off Test01 for that compilation.

Thanks,

Bazza

Instead of defining the define manually inside your code, use different build-modes (and switch between them).

In a build-mode you can define the define when for example building your application in debug-mode.

Also note that it is also possible to let Lazarus do the copy automatically for you (see projects options compiler commands, wiki here), afaik that is on a per build-mode base.
