But the project contains many units, which are not specified on the commandline, therefore the batchfile does not know which files to preprocess. The compiler will only use .pp or .pas. That is why I said that only the IDE 'knows' which files must be preprocessed and which not, and they must all be preprocessed before the compiler is invoked. You will not solve this with a simple pre-compile command without additional IDE functionality. Michael.
