You need to find out the command lines passed to the compiler. To do this, you could make a program that reads command lines passed to it (CL$ command) and make DBPro think that it is the compiler, by editing one of those files in the DBPro directory. I think it is located at "C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional/launch.cfg".

But first, you need a text editor. I started one in DBPro once, but it really didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It would be easier in another language.

I messed about with it a little. What you need to do is have your editor create a dbpro file. The dbpro files that the ide makes are well commented so use it as a template.

The ide sticks all the source code files together in the order they are in the dbpro file and saves it to filename in the "final source=" entry in the dbpro file.

Then it runs the compiler with "DBPCompiler.exe *.dbpro"

It was quite a while ago so some of the above may be wrong, I think the compiler does all the error messages as well.
