tbx_builder_gateway
Builds the user gateway code in sci_gateway/ subdirectory.
Syntax
tbx_builder_gateway(toolbox_path)
Arguments
- toolbox_path
Root directory of toolbox gateway code; buider script will be searched in the
sci_gateway/subdirectory of this directory.
Description
tbx_builder_gateway is used for compiling the gateway code of a toolbox.
The compilation of sources in sci_gateway directory follows this convention and priority order:
- looks for a
toolbox_path/sci_gateway/builder*.scescript, if found, executes it; - otherwise, looks for a
builderscript in each subdirectory ofsci_gateway/and executes them; - for
csubdirectory, if nobuilderscript is found, a default compilation process is done:c- compilation is done for all
sci_*.cfiles; - headers for user (non-gateway code) must be present in the
toolbox_path/src/c/directory; - scilab function names will be th name of the file (without the
sci_prefix and.cextension); - only the Scilab 6 API is supported with this automated process.
- compilation is done for all
The function exits silently if the sci_gateway directory is absent.
 | Little automation is done for tbx_builder_gateway and is only specified for c because source compiling is a very specific process. Toolbox developers willing to have a more specific compilation process still need to define what the build scripts must perform for compilation. |
Examples
// Recommended usage tbx_builder_gateway(get_absolute_file_path('builder.sce'))
History
| Version | Description |
| 6.0.0 | No longer restricts the build scripts to Automatically scans for builder scripts in subdirectories
if no builder script is found in Automated process is introduced for the compilation of Scilab 6 C API gateways. |
