This action creates a step to compile a HelpMaker project file.  From the inputs, the HelpMaker command-line is constructed and called when the action is built, and any log output is captured to the log view and file.

 

This action has been tested with version 7 of HelpMaker and may also work with other versions.

 

Filename: Specifies the HelpMaker project file to compile (required).

 

Formats: Specifies one or more formats to compile (required).  Select or enter a format in the drop-down list and click Insert to add; select a format in the grid and click Delete to remove.

 

Additional command-line options: This option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the HelpMaker compiler (optional).

 

Override compiler executable filename: If this field is empty, the action automatically locates the HelpMaker command-line executable by finding the executable associated with the HelpMaker project filename extension.  This can be overridden by specifying the executable filename here.
