Delphi reports in the output window the dcc32 commands needed to do the build. I need to copy that collection of strings and use it myself to drive dcc32 from a separate app, so I can log the output of the compiler, with time stamps.

Delphi reports in the output window the dcc32 commands needed to do the build. I need to copy that collection of strings and use it myself to drive dcc32 from a separate app, so I can log the output of the compiler, with time stamps.

As it turns out, that is more challenging than expected. The collection of strings is large, and I have yet to convert them into a single long string which dcc32 will accept.

I note in passing that dcc32 also complains of file names that are too long. It seems to have a limit at 260 characters. But perhaps that is an old Windows limit.

Anyway, if anyone has gone through this process successfully, suggestions would be welcome.
