Building a project from the command line

[Noam Rotem]

I'm building a VB project from the command line using:

VB6 /makedll ........

It's working, but gives me no errorlevel or any other indication of success. When the process fails, it opens a messagebox, which does not suit my quiet batch.

Is it possible to quitely build a VB project from a batch file, and get a success/fail indication eventually?

Typing VB6.EXE /? from the command line shows that you can specify a '/out filename' and '/outdir path' parameter to capture any failures from the command line build - I've never used it though.
