Console Compiler
Compile Without the GUI
The console compiler is a Windows console application that lets you compile Paquet Builder projects without invoking the graphical interface. It has no interface of its own and is designed for process automation, automatic distribution cycles, and scheduled tasks.
- Pure console application
- No graphical interface, no window chrome. Runs cleanly in any terminal or CI runner.
- Built for automation
- Ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated distribution cycles.
- Zero-config setup
- Set up automatically via the provided installer. Ready to use immediately.
Script builds with text directives
The console compiler fully supports text-based directives — simple .ini-style files that customize packages, swap source files, override version info, or create entirely new projects from scratch. Combine directives with command-line switches for fully unattended builds.
- Transform or create
- Override settings on existing projects or define a complete package from a directive file alone.
- Version-control friendly
- Plain text format works seamlessly with Git and any diff tool.
