如何将参数传递给 Inno Setup 命令行编译器？

Question

It was suggested in the IS newsgroup to use /D= but using the iscc.exe that came with version 5.2.3 I get an "Unknown option:" error.

Then in the script, how do you use the value of the command line parameter?

Answer 1

You do, as MicSim says, need the preprocessor. It's included in the latest ISPack. Once it's installed, iscc supports /D.

You can then use the values defined like this (assuming you'd done /DVERSION_NAME=1.23):

AppVerName=MyApplication v{#VERSION_NAME}

Answer 2

From the Inno Setup helpfile:

Inno Setup Preprocessor replaces the standard Inno Setup Command Line Compiler (ISCC.exe) by an extended version. This extended version provides extra parameters to control Inno Setup Preprocessor.

The "extra parameters" include the /d option.

The point of the answer by @Steven Dunn is to solve the problem with another layer of abstraction: instead of calling iscc your_script.iss directly from the terminal, call your_script.ps1 -YourVar "value" , process the switch, write a #define to the .iss file, and then compile it with iscc . This was not articulated well and I don't think the function shown to parse command line arguments added much value. However, I'm giving credit where credit is due.

As @jdigital mentioned, ISPP has the /d switch, but ISPP can't be run directly from the terminal (AFAIK). Hence, something like a secondary scripted approach hinted at by @Steven Dunn is necessary.

You can achieve this by adding placeholders to an existing .iss script and then overwrite them accordingly:

.iss Template

; -- template.iss --

#define MyVar ""

...

.ps1 Script

#requires -PSEdition Core

# create_iss_script.ps1

param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][String]$MyVar,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][String]$OutFile,
)

$File = '.\template.iss'
$LineToReplace = '#define MyVar ""'
$NewLine = "#define MyVar ""${MyVar}"""

$FileContent = Get-Content -Path $File -Raw

$FileContent.Replace($LineToReplace, $NewLine) | Set-Content -Path $OutFile

Example Terminal Usage

PS> .\create_iss_script.ps1 -MyVar "HelloWorld!" -OutFile "helloworld.iss"
PS> iscc .\helloworld.iss

or run the iscc step from within your .ps1 script, if you prefer.

If you want to parse command line arguments from code in inno, then use a method similar to this. Just call the inno script from the command line as follows:

C:\MyInstallDirectory>MyInnoSetup.exe -myParam parameterValue

Then you can call the GetCommandLineParam like this wherever you need it:

myVariable := GetCommandLineParam('-myParam');

//==================================================================

{ Allows for standard command line parsing assuming a key/value organization }
function GetCommandlineParam (inParam: String):String;
var
  LoopVar : Integer;
  BreakLoop : Boolean;
begin
  { Init the variable to known values }
  LoopVar :=0;
  Result := '';
  BreakLoop := False;

  { Loop through the passed in arry to find the parameter }
  while ( (LoopVar < ParamCount) and
          (not BreakLoop) ) do
  begin
    { Determine if the looked for parameter is the next value }
    if ( (ParamStr(LoopVar) = inParam) and
         ( (LoopVar+1) < ParamCount )) then
    begin
      { Set the return result equal to the next command line parameter }
      Result := ParamStr(LoopVar+1);

      { Break the loop }
      BreakLoop := True;
    end

    { Increment the loop variable }
    LoopVar := LoopVar + 1;
  end;
end;

Hope this helps...
