How to execute directive files in Paquet Builder?¶

To execute a directive file without using the command line, click the Application Button and select the "Open Directive File" menu option.

Alternatively, you can execute directive files via the command line. When launching Paquet Builder manually (e.g., using the "Run" command in the Windows Start menu), you can pass parameters to specify the directive file.

Tip

Directive files can also be executed using the console command-line compiler.

Use the following command line to execute a directive file:

PBUILDER.EXE "c:\mywork\myproject\file.pbd"

This command opens Paquet Builder, reads the settings from the directive file, and prepares the project. You only need to press the Compile button to create the package.

Paquet Builder also supports the same command-line switches as for project files.

Examples¶

Open a directive file, compile the project without interaction, save the log to an RTF file, and exit:

PBUILDER.EXE "C:\My Documents\pbtests\directive1.pbd" /c /s /q /log:"C:\My Documents\pblog.rtf"

Open a directive file and set the bitness to x64 via the command line:

PBUILDER.EXE "C:\My Documents\pbtests\instructions package 2.pbd" /exetype:1

Exit codes for Paquet Builder.
