Okay, so right now, I'm making a small game(Mario) using DAllegro. I use build, and every time, I have to type this in to compile my progress:

build mario alleg.lib

Now, I know it's not a lot of typing. But considering I type mario wrong every so often, and I generally want to execute it after, assuming there is not compiler errors, it takes time.
In a .bat file right now, I have this:

build mario alleg.lib
mario

But, mario will execute even if there are errors found by dmd.
Is there anything that I can use to see if errors were found, and if there isn't, execute it, and if there is, don't execute it?

I haven't seriously used DOS/Windows since halfway the nineties, but didn't there use to be a 'pause' command? That will allow you to view build output, and possibly to use Ctrl + C to stop the batch file.

Or you could also use ERRORLEVEL after running 'build':

IF ERRORLEVEL EQU 0 mario

If 'mario' always needs the alleg.lib file to compile, you can include that information in the mario.d source file.

eg.

  version(build) { pramga(link, alleg); }

Then you no longer have to keep typing into the Bud command line, instead you just say ...

   build mario

Use the return code from Bud to see if you can run the compiled program ...

   if errorlevel 0 mario

build mario alleg.lib && mario

build mario alleg.lib && mario

Stops after the build if build returns a nonzero exit code.   That bit of the DOS shell is more or less just like a Unix shell.

Also, with that one-liner you can just use the up arrow instead of typing it again or going to the trouble of putting it in a .bat file.

Ah, didn't notice because gmail hid your response inside a "click here to see quoted message".

It does seem to have that bad habit, doesn't it.
