Build(2)

BUILD

MicroEmacs '02 may be compiled from the source files using the command shell build scripts build (UNIX Bourne Shell) or build.bat (DOS/Windows). A default compile sequence may be achieved with a simple:

build 

from the command line. The build script attempts to detect the host system and available compiler and build the editor.

The build script recognizes the following options:-

-C


Build clean. Delete all of the object files.

-d


Build a debugging version, the output is med (or med32 for 32-bit Windows versions)

-g


UNIX only. Builds using GNU compiler and tools as opposed to native tools.

-h


Display a simple help page

-n


Build a console version (i.e. no window support). Constructs the executable men32.exe on Windows, men on Linux.

-nu


Build a console version with URL support (Windows '95/'98/NT only), constructs the executable menu32.exe.

-p <searchpath>


Sets the default system search path to <searchpath>, the default is /usr/local/microemacs. Sets the default system search path to

-S


Build spotless. Deletes all of the object files and any backup files, tag files etc.

-u


Build a URL version (Windows '95/'98/NT only), constructs the executable meu32.exe.

Makefiles

The supplied makefiles are provided in two forms:-

• .gmk - GNU make, using gcc.
• .mak - Native make, consistent with the compiler and platform.

The makefiles are supplied with the following targets:-

• all - Default build.
• clean - Removes intermediate files.
• spotless - Removes intermediate files and any backup files.
• med - Builds a debugging version.
• men - Builds console version (Windows only).
• men - Builds a URL version (Windows only).
• menu - Builds console and URL version (Windows only).

NOTES

Other UNIX ports should be fairly easy from the base set of ported platforms. If any new platform ports are performed by individuals then please submit the makefiles and any source changes back to JASSPA - see Contact Information.

Search Path

The default search path is defined as "/usr/local/microemacs" for all UNIX type environments. Recently there has been a move to use the "/usr/share" directory. The search path may be re-defined through the macro definition "_SEARCH_PATH". Change the C pre-processor to include the macro definition. For example, to use "/usr/share/jasspa" with multiple sub-directories for each of the components:-

-D_SEARCH_PATH="\"/usr/share/jasspa/company:\ 
/usr/share/jasspa/macros:\ 
/usr/share/jasspa/spelling\"" 

Note due to the line length then the backslash (\) has been used to continue the lines.
