G_make - call make or nmake

Calling Sequence

Rfiles=G_make(files,dllname)

Parameters

• files : a character string or a vector of character string.
• dllname : a character string.
• Rfiles : vector of character string. Rfiles can be used as a first argument when calling addinter function.

Description

On Unix like systems (i.e unix or windows/gcwin32) G_make calls the make utility for building target files and returns the value of files in the variable Rfiles. On windows platforms, (i.e when Scilab was compiled with Microsoft VisualC++). G_make calls the nmake utility for building target dllname and it returns the value of dllname in the variable Rfiles. Of course G_make will work if apropriate Makefiles are provided in the current Scilab directory.

G_make can be used to provide OS independant call to addinter. and such examples can be found in the directory SCIDIR/examples/addinter-examples

files=G_make([TMPDIR+'/ex1cI.o',TMPDIR+'/ex1c.o'],'ex1c.dll');// compilation 
addinter(files,'foobar','foubare'); // link
