bug with -OutDir switch and tlink.exe ?

$

Hi,

 

I was experimenting with a custom build.bat to generate the package into %PROJECT_DIR%\bin2 instead of %PROJECT_DIR%\bin as set up in the default build.bat.

vregtool and vftool don't seem to have problem with that:

 

"%THINSTALL_BIN%\vregtool" "%PROJECT_DIR%\bin2\Package.ro.tvr" ImportDir "%PROJECT_DIR%"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO failed

"%THINSTALL_BIN%\vftool" "%PROJECT_DIR%\bin2\Package.ro.tvr" ImportDir "%PROJECT_DIR%"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO failed

But for some reason, tlink is always searching into the default bin output dir even if I use the -OutDir switch:

 

"%THINSTALL_BIN%\tlink" "%PROJECT_DIR%\Package.ini" -OutDir "%PROJECT_DIR%\bin2"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO failed

 

I get:

Could not initialize registry file: bin\Package.ro.tvr
Could not obtain lock file bin\Package.ro.tvr.lck
Press any key to continue...
*** Build failed ***

 

Moreover, there are path to the build directory inside package.ini, but even if I modify them, tlink is still looking for a bin output dir:

 

OutDir=bin2
...
[http://IrfanView 4.23.exe|http://IrfanView 4.23.exe]
ReadOnlyData=bin2\Package.ro.tvr
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
FileTypes=.acr.aif.ani.asf.au.avi.b3d.bmp.cam.clp.cr2.crw.cur.dcm.dcx.dds.dib.djvu.ecw.emf.eps.exr.flv.fpx.fsh.g3.gif.gsm.hdp.icl.ico.iff.img.iw44.j2k.jng.jp2.jpc.jpe.jpeg.jpg.jpm.kdc.lbm.ldf.lwf.med.mid.mng.mov.mp3.mpe.mpeg.mpg.ngg.nlm.nol.ogg.pbm.pcd.pcx.pgm.png.ppm.psd.psp.ra.ras.raw.rgb.rle.rmi.sff.sfw.sgi.sid.snd.sun.swf.tga.tif.tiff.ttf.wav.wbmp.wdp.wma.wmf.wmv.xbm.xpm
Shortcuts=%Programs%\IrfanView

 

So how can I build a same project tree into different output directories without making a full copy of the project tree ?

The purpose is to build one package with different licensing enforcement scripts.

 

Thanks

 

Alban

 

PS: I found this same behaviour from Thinstall 3.3 to ThinApp 4.0.3 RC
