G_make

Arguments

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 G_make calls the make utility for building target files and returns the value of files in the variable Rfiles. On windows platforms, 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 appropriate Makefiles are provided in the current Scilab directory.

G_make can be used to provide OS independent call to addinter.

Examples

if getos() == 'Windows' then
  txt = ['ex1c.dll:',
         '  @echo ------------------------------------------',
         '  @echo From Makefile.mak',
         '  @echo ------------------------------------------',
         ' '];
  mputl(txt,TMPDIR+'/makefile.mak')
  current_dir = pwd();
  cd TMPDIR
  files=G_make([TMPDIR+'/ex1cI.o',TMPDIR+'/ex1c.o'],'ex1c.dll');// compilation
  //
  //addinter(files,'foobar','foubare'); // link
  cd(current_dir);
end
