Hi all,

I posted this question in the previous thread along with another question and it went unanswered, so I'm trying again:

I have read that PBD files are the same for both 32 and 64 bits. The only difference is in the exe.

Is there any way to create only an exe for 32 or 64 bits without having to run the build for the entire application?

 

Regards,

Tomáš

Hi Tomáš;

  You will need to run both project builds BUT ...

  1. Build the 32 bit EXE using a FULL build.
  2. Do not delete the PBD's
  3. Build the 64 bit EXE using an INCREMENTAL build

The 64 bit incremental build will now be super, super fast.  HTH

Regards .. Chris

That's not how the product is designed.  So even if it is possible, we don't recommend it because as the product moves forward we may make changes to the product that causes problem with this way of doing this.  So long story short, rebuild the whole application.

Hi Armeen,

According to this doc https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019/pbug/ch05s11.html there's no difference between pbds for 32 and 64 bit.

So who can I trust now? :-)

As I understand it, it is possible for now, it may not be possible in the future, but hopefully it will be announced.

Regards,

Tomáš

Hi Tomas, I didn't mean to suggest that there is difference in the PBD file. I was just saying that our intention for correct usage of the product is somebody goes through the build process. In other words, we do not test and ensure that bypassing build process will always work well.
