Is there a way to compile vfp9 via command line like one would do for a
Visual Studio project/solution with msdev.com or devenv.com? The plan is to
build via NAnt with <exec>. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Robert:

Does the BUILD command give you what you need?

BUILD EXE EXEFileName FROM ProjectName [RECOMPILE]

I hope this helps.

That's from within the FoxPro IDO, isn't it? What I'm looking to do is create
an automated process that calls the project file and results in an exe. For
instance with Microsoft's devenv at command line I could type/invoke by
batch/call by nant, etc "devenv ProjectA.sln /rebuild Release" or something
similar...

Create a .PRG file that has the BUILD command in it. You could then start
VFP with that .PRG.
