Hi Appeon Community,

I want to create a EXE file without PBD or DLL files using PowerBuilder Compiler (PBC). Should be changed any parameter from command line? or should be modified the PBT file? if so, which parameter or value?.

Thank you for your help.

Make a Project object in the IDE first with the PBD columns unchecked on the Libraries tab. The PBC parms on the first tab should then be what you need. If not, there is a bug in the painter or PBC itself.

Hi Moises;

  The key will be to create a PBR file that links all the PB objects into the one EXE.

Hi Chris,

Once created the PBR file that links all the PB objects, do you know how I can setup the PBC to create the EXE file only without PBDs? Thanks Chris.

Yes, the PBC has issues when using a PBR. There are open tickets on this already in the support system.

Hi Roland,

This is the PBC parms on the first tab with PBD columns checked:

/d "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.pbt" /o "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.exe" /r "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.pbr" /w n /f /m n /x 32 /bg y /p "Collect" /cp "MJ" /de "Collect Updated Application" /v "1.0.0.0" /vn "1.0.0.1" /fv "1.0.0.0" /fvn "1.0.0.1" /ge 0

And, the PBC parms on the first tab with PBD columns unchecked:

/d "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.pbt" /o "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.exe" /r "C:\Work\Apps-local\collect.pbr" /w n /f /m n /x 32 /bg y /p "Collect" /cp "MJ" /de "Collect Updated Application" /v "1.0.0.0" /vn "1.0.0.1" /fv "1.0.0.0" /fvn "1.0.0.1" /ge 0

It looks the same, is there a bug in the painter?, how we can solve this issue?


Thanks Roland,

It's the /pd switch that you needed to look at.
