This is my personal script for interfacing the latest AB3 from here:-

https://github.com/AmiBlitz/AmiBlitz3

Downloaded from here:-

https://github.com/AmiBlitz/AmiBlitz3/releases/tag/v3.8.0

The binary's are within the source code. 

Be sure that the E executable protection flag is enabled so that AB3
can be used from CLI.

In "DiskMaster 2.5.30a" I have configured my abcomp script as follows:-

AddMenu Tools, AB comp, extern c:execute cc:abcomp %s %d 


"do_abcomp.png" is provided for "DOpus 4.x".


If you do not already have basename its here:-

http://aminet.net/package/util/batch/ARPClones-37.1


Although this script started out just for the AB3 compiler I ended
up adding many more. 


Change AMIDEV:, /AMIDEV/ & cc: to where ever you keep your stuff. 


For directory utilities with a slash issue occurences of:-
<dst>`basename
should be replaced with:-
`TackOn "<dst>" ""``basename
.

"TackOn" is a part of "ARPClones-37.1" also.

With "rep" from here:-
http://aminet.net/package/util/cli/rep
the script is easily modified by typing the following:-
rep abcomp "<dst>*`basename" "*`TackOn *"<dst>*" *"*"*`*`basename"
.


If you do not already have STC then it is up to you.
Available from here:- http://aminet.net/package/util/pack/Stc4103

NB:  If you decide to use this script you do so at your own risk.

For those equipped with GeekGadgets compilation is more intelligently
automated for HB2, ACE and E. If GG is not available then a check for
UpDateCopy is made from here:-
http://aminet.net/package/util/sys/UpDateCopy

Of coarse use newer than "v3.8.0" if you wish.
