My problem is, certain macros, such as TARGET and TARGETFILENAME, are only available within the %FOREACH CONFIG block. So what's the best syntax for generating a makefile for a single config (say, the active one, or one whose name I know beforehand)? (And is this easier in Darko's version of bdsproj2mak? I haven't tried it yet.) -- Matt Lowe Milsoft Utility Solutions Back to top Matt Lowe Guest Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 6:39 pm    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: generating makefile for a single CONFIG Also, I'm assuming that bdsproj2mak -m is the extent of documentation on this tool. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure how to do this in bdsproj2mak, but Makefiles For BDS supports makefile generation from a specific config. You just pass the config name with the -c parameter. http://www.jomitech.com/#makefilesforbds Jonathan ----------------------------------------------------------------- TwineCompiler - Blazingly fast C++ compiles on ANY machine. http://www.jomitech.com/#twine ----------------------------------------------------------------- Back to top Dennis Jones Guest Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: generating makefile for a single CONFIG "Matt Lowe" <dontspammatt (AT) milsoft (DOT) com> wrote in message news:450aab3f (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

I haven't tried it yet.) Realizing that: 1) bdsproj2mak has a number of bugs and that other makefile generators are likely to have corrected or avoided those same bugs, and 2) bdsproj2mak could be updated in the future to generate a makefile for the active config, or allow an option to specify the config, are you aware that you can simply specify which target to build on the command line? For instance: make -f MyProject.mak Release_Build - Dennis Back to top Matt Lowe Guest Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:35 am    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: generating makefile for a single CONFIG "Dennis Jones" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote in message news:4510beb5$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com... Quote: are you aware that you can simply specify which target to build on the command line? For instance: make -f MyProject.mak Release_Build Aha. This only works for the individual mak files created with bdsproj2mak, and not with the mak file created for a bdsgroup file, but it shows me how to fix the problem using MAKE, I think. I was thinking I needed to modify the per-project output for bdsproj2mak, but I guess I can just modify the final mak file instead. Thanks.

Or, I realize now, I can just define the target on the command line .... I suppose this is the cleanest way to do it. make -DTARGET="Debug_Build" -fMyProject.mak That's exactly right, but it is not always necessary to define TARGET explicitly. MAKE's syntax treats anything following the name of the makefile as a target specification. Thus, you can simply specify the target after the name of the makefile, like I showed in my first post: make -fMyProject.mak Debug_Build Some targets don't work with this syntax (make_dirs, for example), but most do: make -fMyProject.mak clean Release_Build Debug_Build - Dennis Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> C++ Builder (Command Line Tools) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
