I use this when I need to create code that I can run from an XDOT.EXE dot prompt.
For example, I often need to test functions and it is simpler to put them into a DLL and then load the DLL from the dot prompt. After that I can then call the functions with appropriate parameters from the dot prompt.
Here's you you would use it.
From a DOS prompt run MAKEDLL test.
This will create TEST.DLL from TEST.PRG.
From a DOT prompt run DLL LOAD test.
From a DOT prompt call any of the functions in TEST.PRG.
Ex. MyTestFunction( 23, Date() )
Code: Select all
del %1.xpj
cls
@echo.
@echo Building XPP project file for %1.PRG
@echo.
@echo [PROJECT] >> %1.XPJ
@echo COMPILE = xpp >> %1.XPJ
@echo COMPILE_FLAGS = /q /w /rDCLIPX.LIB /rDCLIP1.LIB /rDCLIP2.LIB >> %1.XPJ /dll:DYNAMIC
@echo DEBUG = yes >> %1.XPJ
@echo GUI = yes >> %1.XPJ
@echo LINKER = alink >> %1.XPJ
@echo LINK_FLAGS = >> %1.XPJ
@echo RC_COMPILE = arc >> %1.XPJ
@echo RC_FLAGS = /v >> %1.XPJ
@echo %1.XPJ >> %1.XPJ
@echo [%1.XPJ] >> %1.XPJ
@echo %1.DLL >> %1.XPJ
@echo [%1.DLL] >> %1.XPJ
@echo %1.PRG >> %1.XPJ
pbuild %1 /g
pbuild %1
del %1.obj
