| 15 | <h2>The <External> Tag</h2> | ||
| 16 | Use<p> | ||
| 17 | <font color="green"> | ||
| 18 | <External ref=<em>Tool_name</em> [use=<em>group name</em>]> | ||
| 19 | </font><p> | ||
| 20 | This tag is used to specify the dependency on an external tool, such as a | ||
| 21 | library package etc. The name of the tool must refer to one of the tools defined | ||
| 22 | in your areas configuration. | ||
| 23 | <p> | ||
| 24 | The optional <b>use=</b> element can be specified where the | ||
| 25 | <a href=export.html><export></a> interface has been defined in another | ||
| 26 | SCRAM managed project. i.e. It allows you to choose subsets of the libraries | ||
| 27 | from other SCRAM projects as if you were using a <use> tag in your local | ||
| 28 | project. | ||
| 29 | <p> | ||
| 30 | Note that if the used interface itself specifies an <External> tag then the | ||
| 31 | specified tool still has to exist in the local configuration. | ||
| 32 | <h2>Example 1</h2> | ||
| 33 | You are working in your local project and wish to link against the X11 libraries | ||
| 34 | <br> | ||
| 35 | Assuming X11 is part of your project environment you can simply | ||
| 36 | Edit your BuildFile and add the line | ||
| 37 | <p> | ||
| 38 | <font color="green"> | ||
| 39 | <External ref=X11> | ||
| 40 | </font> | ||
| 41 | <p> | ||
| 42 | <h2>Example 2</h2> | ||
| 43 | You now wish to work with another SCRAM based project called "foo". | ||
| 44 | If you proceed as in the | ||
| 45 | previous example you are likely to get all possible libraries. | ||
| 46 | <p> | ||
| 47 | You know however that you are only interested in the libraries for the subsystem | ||
| 48 | "bar", then (again assuming your project configuration knows about "foo") add | ||
| 49 | this to your BuildFile | ||
| 50 | <p> | ||
| 51 | <font color="green"> | ||
| 52 | <External ref=foo use=bar> | ||
| 53 | </font> | ||
| 54 | </ol> | ||
