Many thanks for your quick reply.
I have been studying all the samples and realize I need to do my homework first :-) I found one example where a Perforce client spec was created on the fly. This got me started. I use lots of client specs myself but never thought of creating one on the fly! This was much easier than what I was trying to do.
With a few Macros and a minimum of prerequisites:
1. Machine has the Perforce client installed.
2. Machine has Visual studio installed.
3. Logged in user name = a Perforce user with necessary rights.
I was able to move a .bld file around, create a client spec and get the latests source relative to the build file and start building.
Eventually, I'd like to show how one can from a singular maintained .bld file, copied to any directory on any machine with the above prerequites, build a complete release target without ever having to set up anything in particular.
So I guess I am now merely causing noise here and should stop!
Thanks again.
Conrad
