| 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> |
