Title: Command line to create EXE's ?
Post by: mynameispaul on March 12, 2022, 04:30:19 pm
Just wondering if there is a way to create EXE's with QB64 using something like a command line?

Curious if its possible to do this so multiple EXE's can be created one after another.

I think old QB4.0 and/or QB4.5 used to have this option.

qb64 -x sourcefile

The .bas extension is not required.

If you want to compile more than one file, use the above template in a batch file.

You can also use QB64 /? for view more options (switches).

I've used this command to compile tons of QB64 programs from a batch file. 
qb64 -x sourcefile
