IA reports erro when building from command line, but builds fine with GUI

[ikhasin]

Hi,

The error I get varies with configuration:
E,g when I try building "windows_only" target
command line
%IA%\build.exe my.iap_xml windows_only
I have:

The -i build option MUST be followed by a valid System i Login credentials info


(and lots of other messages that really hide the problem)
with another configuration
command line
%IA%\build.exe my.iap_xml

I have among other messages:

The -d build option MUST be followed by a valid directory


Those configurations build fine from UI.

Where I can look what configuration looks like. Output is very huge but lists only general help information and command line prameters.
I am attaching one of them below.
Thanks!

I found that you use command line "C:\IAProjects\JVM_PATCH>%IA%\build.exe JVM_PATCH.iap_xml win".
From the user guide arguments "win" is not supported by "build.exe". Perhaps this is the cause.
It should be "build.exe JVM_PATCH.iap_xml +w" for building windows without VM.

Hi -
thanks for responding.

"win" in my case is a configuration name (maybe not the best)

I have other configuration names like "nd32bit" for configuration with command line being
>%IA%\build.exe JVM_PATCH.iap_xml nd32bit
and it has same errors (pleas, see below).

Project builds fine 1) without configuration name;2) from UI "Build selected"

Thanks.

Not sure.. But there is another option that, perhaps you can use a "buildproperties.properties" file, there is a sample under C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAnywhere 2012\resource\build, in which

# Number of configurations to build
number.of.configs=2

# Build Configuration names
config.1.name=win
config.2.name=nd32bit
...

And then you can build your configuration by "build.exe JVM_PATCH.iap_xml -p buildproperties.properties".
