<workbench> -dcom:generate /Demo/Example.idl
where <workbench> is a placeholder for the actual
Workbench starter as described under Using the EntireX Workbench in Command-line Mode.
The name of the IDL file includes the project name. In the example, the project Demo is used. If the IDL file name describes a file within the Eclipse workspace, the name is case-sensitive.
If the first part of the IDL file name is not a project name in the current workspace, the IDL file name is used as a relative (based on the IDL file) or absolute file name in the file system. Thus, the IDL files do not need to be part of an Eclipse project.
The generated DCOM source files will be stored in parallel to the Software AG IDL file, in the generated subfolders win32\<Library Name>, e.g. Demo\win32\EXAMPLE.
Status and processing messages are written to standard output (stdout), which is normally set to the executing shell window.
<workbench> -dcom:generate C:\Temp\example.idl
Uses the IDL file C:\Temp\example.idl and generates the DCOM source files (several .bat files, the subfolders win32\EXAMPLE within the different files) in parallel to the IDL file. Slashes and backslashes are permitted in the file name. Output to standard output:
Using workspace file:/C:/myWorkspace/.
LIBRARY = EXAMPLE
Program = CALC
Program = POWER
Program = HELLO

<workbench> -dcom:generate -help
or
<workbench> -help -dcom:generate
Both show a short help for the DCOM Wrapper.
