tbx_builder_gateway

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*.sce script, if found, executes it;
• otherwise, looks for a builder script in each subdirectory of sci_gateway/ and executes them;
• for c subdirectory, if no builder script is found, a default compilation process is done:

  c	compilation is done for all sci_*.c files; 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 .c extension); only the Scilab 6 API is supported with this automated process.

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'))
