Change in build environment
There has been a change in the build environment. The tool to build
OpenOffice.org is no longer dmake but build.
From within any module, build will build the entire
module. Unlike with dmake, a subsequent deliver
has to be done explicitely.
A build -all will build not only the module from where the command
was exectuted, but also all other modules on which this module depends.
For a summary of command options to build, type
build -help. You may also refer to the build documentation
(Linux,
Solaris,
Windows)
With dmake, build dependencies were handled with recursive
makefiles, called makefile.rc, in each subdirectory.
The build tool takes all dependency information from files called
prj/build.lst. These files where initially used to create
the recursive makefiles, makefile.rc. The recursive makefiles
are now obsolete.
A dmake from SRC_ROOT level can still be used to build the
entire office suite as it translates into a build -all in
the module instsetoo (which results in building everything).
The top-level makefile is no longer called makefile.rc but
makefile.mk.
The following table summarizes the differences between this new
environment and the one used in snapshots up to 633:
|
build everything |
build one module |
build flow controlled by |
| before 638 |
$SRC_ROOT> dmake |
cd $SRC_ROOT/module;
dmake |
makefile.rc in all
subdirectories |
| 638 |
$SRC_ROOT> dmake
( = cd instsetoo; build -all) |
cd $SRC_ROOT/module;
build; deliver |
prj/build.lst
in each module |
