Hi. I've noticed all the alternative IDEs around and was wondering how they worked so I've been trying to see if I could create a hello world program and compile it in DBP manually without using an IDE. I found a very useful thread here. However I've run into a problem. Having gone through the steps outlined and got an exe file out of the compiler, I try to run it and get the following error:

Could not find a DLL (..\plugins-licensed\DBProSetupDebug.dll)

I've tried compiling a variety of programs including ones where the files were all generated by IDEs. These ran fine from the IDE (both CodeSurge and the Legacy IDE) but I get this error (or a similar error - the dll in question sometimes changes) for all of them.

Any thoughts on why this is happening and how I could get around it would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like the DBP compiler requires the current working directory to be the compiler folder.

Ty, this solved the problem. I suppose the IDE's must create the files in the compiler folder and then move them back to the project folder.

Anyhow thanks for your help.
