<h1>BuildFile Examples</h1>

<p>
|

The Default Build is configured at the project level. The default can be
|
| 4 |
overridden or parameters passed to the default build rules through the
|
| 5 |
BuildFile.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
<p>
|
| 8 |
Examples of different build files are shown below
|
| 9 |
<ol>
|
| 10 |
<li>The Binary Executable<p>
|
| 11 |
The binary building rules require explicit specification of the binary targets
|
| 12 |
e.g.
|
| 13 |
<p>
|
| 14 |
<font color=green>
|
| 15 |
<pre>
|
| 16 |
<External ref=cmsim>
|
| 17 |
<External ref=X11>
|
| 18 |
<Use ref=CARF>
|
| 19 |
<Lib name=examplelib></lib>
|
| 20 |
<bin file=example1.cpp>
|
| 21 |
You can write between bin tags some documentation to describe what the binary
|
| 22 |
does
|
| 23 |
</bin>
|
| 24 |
<bin file=example2.cpp name=mytestexe>
|
| 25 |
Here we call the final binary a different name from the default.
|
| 26 |
</bin>
|
| 27 |
</Use>
|
| 28 |
</External>
|
| 29 |
</External>
|
| 30 |
</pre>
|
| 31 |
</font>
|
| 32 |
This file will build two executables called (example1 and mytestexe) from files example1.cpp and example2.cpp respectively. Both are built in the context of
|
| 33 |
external libraries cmsim and X11 as well as a local package from the same
|
| 34 |
project called CARF <p>
|
| 35 |
<em><b>Note: Theres still much work to be done here</b></em><br>
|
| 36 |
<ul>
|
| 37 |
<li> </External> and </Use> tags do not remove the
|
| 38 |
external package as you might expect.
|
| 39 |
<li> Anything Outside of the bin tags will be included in the
|
| 40 |
GNUmakefile. This allows you the full functionality of gmake
|
| 41 |
to make up for any inadequacies. Hopefully as full scram
|
| 42 |
binary functionality is achieved this will be phased out
|
| 43 |
</ul>
|
| 44 |
<p>
|
| 45 |
<li>The library BuildFile
|
| 46 |
The only time you might want to override this is to exclude some files from a
|
| 47 |
build or include external package headers or assign the module to a group.
|
| 48 |
<br>e.g.<p>
|

<font color=green>
|

<pre>
|
| 51 |
<Group name=G3>
|
| 52 |
skip_files := FakeClusterizer.cc SigmaClusterizer.cc
|
| 53 |
</pre>

<li>Empty Group

Sometimes the default builds arn't wanted at all. Switch them off with
