FSharpChecker.GetProjectOptionsFromScript --out flag not supported by design?

[queil]

Hi,

I've been trying using the --out compiler flag in FSharpChecker.GetProjectOptionsFromScript (via otherFlags) so that it populates the outputDirectory constructor param in my custom dependency manager. However, it fails with: commandLineArgs (0,1)-(0,1) parameter error Unrecognized option: '--out'. Use '--help' to learn about recognized command line options. Is this by design or a bug?

From the top of my head - I would say it's by design, since checker is not expected to output any assemblies as well as it's not really applicable for scripts. Don't remember thought which subset of flags does it use.

Ok, it makes sense. Would there be any other mechanism available to pass an additional context to the dependency manager (apart from the ResolveDependencies method parameters)? Essentially, I want the dependency manager use the same output directory for its temporary files as the main compilation (and the output directory may be overridden by the user so I cannot assume a static path).
