<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>
