Hi,

I'm currently running PB2019 R3 and trying to deploy my application. 

In my project file I indicate that the output exe file should be generated in r:

The syntax to be used in the command lines reads the following:

/o "r:\core_src.exe"

And the documentations states that:

/o

Name of the application executable file to be created.

All the other related files will be deployed to the same folder as the exe file. For example: /o d:\fo\test11.exe. If not specified, the same name as the PBT file will be used.

PowerBuilder IDE -> Project Painter: Executable file name option

In my case all PDB files are deployed to its PBL location. Any idea why it's not working?

What do I have to do?

 

Thank you!

  2. PBD

Hi.

This was always the way pdb's were created. They are always side by side with the according pbls. The path you set affects only the location were the exe will be located. You can always copy them to another location when build is complete. If you choose to move them a future incremental build will work as a full build.

I think this is not correct because the build does not depends on PBDs but only on PBLs.

Hi René.

You are right. It will not work as a full build, but it will take a little more time because missing pbd's will be created again. But if they exist and don't need any modification, built will finish faster.

Thank you for your quick response! 

That was what I suspected, but the documentations states a different thing, that was what caused my confusion. It would be a good idea to modify it or clarify this situation.
