85 > <li><a name=Dep><h2>Specifying Dependencies</h2></a>
86 > A binary can depend on many other elements. Currently scram supports the concepts and associated
87 > tags as given in the table below :
88 > <table>
89 > <tr>
90 > <td><font color=green>
91 > &lt;external ref=<em>external_product_ref</em>></font></td>
92 > <td>
93 > Specify that the build requires some external product
94 > (e.g. libraries, header files etc.). Currently the only supported ref is
95 > a simple name label set at the project level. Such names are part of the project configuration.
96 > </td>
97 > </tr>
98 > <tr>
99 > <td><font color=green>
100 > &lt;lib name=<em>libname</em>></font></td>
101 > <td>Add a library name to the link line. It is assumed that the libraries can be found in the
102 > standard scram search paths</td>
103 > </tr>
104 > <tr>
105 > <td><font color=green>
106 > &lt;Use name=<em>unit_name</em>></font></td>
107 > <td>Inform build system that we require package <em>unit_name</em> in
108 > the build. A package is a unit within the current source code and requires that an appropriate
109 > interface has been defined in the appropriate BuildFile with the
110 > <a href=export.html>&lt;export> tags</a>
111 > </td>
112 > </tr>
113 > <tr>
114 > <td><font color=green>
115 > &lt;Group name=<em>group_name</em>></font></td>
116 > <td>Inform build system to set a specific group.
117 > Groups are either containers of other groups (defined at the project configuration level)
118 > , or can be used to switch in/out functionality
119 > from an <a href=export.html>&lt;export> interface</a>
120 > </td>
121 > </table>
122 > Each of these tags can be put in the BuildFile to build up an 'Environment' in which the
123 > binary is to be built.  The BuildFile itself provides the base environment, however more control
124 > can be achieved using the &lt;Environment> &lt;/Environment> tags, to determine its extent.
125 > Any &lt;bin> tag inside the &lt;Environment> delimiters will be associated with that (and any other enclosing) environment.
126 > Note that since the BuildFile is an Environment in itself - it encloses all other Environments and as such any dependency specified outside of an  &lt;Environment> tag will apply to all binaries.
