The file Imake.rules contains macros known as Imake build rules. Their name and function are described in Table 4-2.
Table 4-2 Imake build rulesMacro name | Function |
---|---|
MakeDir(dir) | Creates the directory named dir. |
LibraryTarget(lib, objs) | Adds the objects indicated by objs into the library lib. |
Depend(srcs) | Computes the dependencies of srcs and adds them to the dependency list in the Makefile (using makedepend). |
ActorTarget(prog, objs, options, crt0, libs) | Uses objs to create a C actor called prog, and passes options, crt0 and libs to the linker. |
UserActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates a user C actor. |
SupActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates a supervisor C actor. |
EmbeddedUserActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates an embedded user C actor. |
EmbeddedSupActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates an embedded supervisor C actor. |
BuiltinDriver(prog, objs, libs) | Creates a ChorusOS operating system driver. |
BspProgtarget(prog, entry, objs, libs) | Creates a BSP program. |
CXXActorTarget(prog, objs, options, crt0, libs) | Uses objs to create a C++ actor called prog, and passes options, crt0 and libs to the linker. |
CXXUserActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates a user C++ actor. |
CXXSupActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates a supervisor C++ actor. |
CXXEmbeddedUserActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates an embedded user C++ actor. |
CXXEmbeddedSupActorTarget(prog, objs, libs) | Creates an embedded supervisor C++ actor. |
DynamicUserTarget(prog, objs, libs, dynamicLibs, dlDeps, options) | Creates a dynamic user C actor. |
DynamicSupTarget(prog, objs, libs, dynamicLibs, dlDeps, options) | Creates a dynamic user C actor. |
DynamicCXXUserTarget(prog, objs, libs, dynamicLibs, dlDeps, options) | Creates a dynamic user C actor. |
DynamicCXXSupTarget(prog, objs, libs, dynamicLibs, dlDeps, options) | Creates a dynamic user C actor. |
DynamicLibraryTarget(dlib, objs, staticLibs, dynamicLibs, dlDeps, options) | Creates a dynamic library. |
Rules used to build actors use the following common arguments:
obj is the list of binary objects included in the actor.
prog is the name of the actor.
libs is the list of additional libraries used to build the actor. The actor is linked by default with the library to provide either the basic or extended environment.
The rules used to build dynamic actors are described in more detail in "Building a Dynamic Program".
