Hello,


I am trying to compile two different versions of an app using a batch file. 
All is working nicely, except that I can't make the conditional compiling 
work. I have

  -DFIRSTVERSION

on the command line, and then

  {$IFDEF FIRSTVERSION}
  ... some code, including setting the main form's caption
  {$ENDIF}

in one of the source code files, but it doesn't compile that code. I also 
have -B in the command line, to make sure everything is compiled, but still 
no go. What could be going wrong? Is the define project level, or source 
code file level, and if the latter how do I specify the file in which it 
should be turned on?


TIA,
Antti Kurenniemi
