I'm trying to use madbuild to automate my building process. I've got the following:

madbuild -project C:\Flare\SampleProject.flprj -target "target_subfolder\another_subfolder\sample_project_target"

Unfortunately I keep getting errors saying that the target file was not found.

Should the target be a complete path, contain the file extension, both?

Hi there,

Swap the backslashes with forward slashes, and add the target extension, and you should be up and running:

Code: Select all

madbuild -project C:/Flare/SampleProject.flprj -target "target_subfolder/another_subfolder/sample_project_target.fltar"

I assume that you could use back slashes for the absolute link. I'm not sure why we've formatted it that way in our scripts, but it does work in that format.

Cheers Paulie, that did the trick! I find it a bit off that I can do backslashes \ for the project path, but not for the target path...
