Then, copy what you can out of the build messages and insert that into your script as the command line (although I think the command line is always given in the Build Output pane?).  If you want to get fancier, pull out all those long paths from the registry.  Here is a portion of a python script I wrote to do command-line builds:

*************************************

# inject this into an environment variable
# Check whether win64 is running
if os.path.exists(r'c:\Program files (x86)'):
    os.environ['BDS'] = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CodeGear\\RAD Studio\\5.0\\'
else:
    os.environ['BDS'] = 'C:\\Program Files\\CodeGear\\RAD Studio\\5.0\\'

def ReplaceEnvironVars(input):
    input = input.replace(r'$(BDS)',os.environ['BDS'])
    input = input.replace(r'$(BDSCOMMONDIR)',os.environ['BDSCOMMONDIR'])
    input = input.replace(r'$(ALLUSERSPROFILE)',os.environ['ALLUSERSPROFILE'])
    items = input.split(';')
    items = ['"'+i+'"' for i in items]
    input = ';'.join(items)
    input = input.replace(r'\\','\\')
    return input

# Store Delphi library paths from Registry
key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER,r'Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Library')
INC = _winreg.QueryValueEx(key,'Search Path')[0]
INC = ReplaceEnvironVars(INC)
UPATH = OPATH = RPATH = INC
BPL = _winreg.QueryValueEx(key, 'Package DPL Output')[0]
BPL = ReplaceEnvironVars(BPL)
DCP = _winreg.QueryValueEx(key, 'Package DCP Output')[0]
DCP = ReplaceEnvironVars(DCP)
_winreg.CloseKey(key)


*************************************

 and then, with this command line string template:

*************************************
CMDLINE_TEMPLATE = 'dcc32.exe -W -B %s -I%s -LE%s -LN%s -O%s -R%s -U%s -E%s -GD --no-config %s'
*************************************

I substitute with

*************************************
    cmdline = CMDLINE_TEMPLATE % (definestring,INC,BPL,DCP,OPATH,RPATH,UPATH,outputfolder,fname)
*************************************
