Forums » Impact Engine » Baking with QuickPHP

I'm trying to bake a demo right now, trying to bake it using QuickPHP instead of a full php server like xamp. However, whenever I run the bake.bat, i get an error message from Quickphp saying Error parsing parameter - tools/bake.php
I'd like to know whether it's possible to bake using quickphp and, if so, help will be much appreciated.

This is my bake.bat

@echo off

:: Path to impact.js and your game's main .js
SET IMPACT_LIBRARY=C:/ImpactJS/GenericV5/lib/impact/impact.js
SET GAME=C:/ImpactJS/GenericV5/lib/game/main.js

:: Output file
SET OUTPUT_FILE=C:/ImpactJS/GenericV5/game.min.js

:: Change CWD to Impact's base dir
cd ../

:: Bake!
::php tools/bake.php %IMPACT_LIBRARY% %GAME% %OUTPUT_FILE%

:: If you dont have the php.exe in your PATH uncomment the
:: following line and point it to your php.exe

::c:/php/php.exe tools/bake.php %IMPACT_LIBRARY% %GAME% %OUTPUT_FILE%
C:/ImpactJS/quickphp/php.exe tools/bake.php %IMPACT_LIBRARY% %GAME% %OUTPUT_FILE%

Seems like the version of php.exe included with QuickPHP does not expect the first argument to be a script path. Or maybe it's not sure how to handle that slash...

Not sure which version of QuickPHP you have, but both ZIP files on this site (quickphp_webserver.zip and quickphp_webserver_bare.zip) don't actually come with a php.exe.

You don't have to install XAMPP or a Webserver to get the official PHP version though. Just unzip the Windows binaries somewhere and point your bake.bat to the included php.exe.

Yeah, turns out quickphp doesn't handle those types of scripts.
Anyway, I did what you said Dominic, and it worked just fine. Thanks a lot for the help! :D
