Can you give an example? I've got some examples, but I'm not sure which apply to you.

Hi,

Thankyou for the reply. As you can see below i'm trying to run a batch file called Tool.bat before compilation, How would I achieve this?

Thanks

@{

SubDir TOP src Game : Game ;

local ROOT_SRCS =
Game.cpp
Game.h
;

local SRCS = $(ROOT_SRCS)
;

C.IncludeDirectories Game :
./
;

C.LinkPrebuiltLibraries Game :
user32
wsock32
Advapi32
: * : win32 ;

C.OutputPath Game :
../../bin
: * : win32 ;

actions SomeBatchFile {
"$(TOP)/Tool.bat" ;
}

SomeBatchFile Game ;

C.Application Game : $(SRCS) : console ;

}@

Sorry for the late response.

Basically, what you want to do involves a bit of trickery with the current state of things. It might be interesting to have a before-Game target automatically created that does what I'm about to show you.

Try this (shortened for brevity):

actions SomeBatchFile {
"$(TOP)/Tool.bat" ;
}

C.Application Game : $(SRCS) : console ;

on Game Depends [ DependsList $(LINK_TARGET) ] : before_Game ;

SomeBatchFile before_Game ;
Always before_Game ;
NotFile before_Game ;

The above forces the batch file to always run. That usually isn't the right thing to do, though. If you can further explain what you're attempting to do, I might be able to guide you even better.
