Prebuild configurations for distributions
*****************************************
This is a useful feature if you want to make a part of workspace available for third party without changing the configuration.
There are two major use cases:
- Only a few projects shall be closed source (e.g. to hide some algorithms)
- Only a few projects shall be open source (e.g. if a supplier has integrate a library)
Both is possible with bake, but the current UI is optimized for the latter one.
Add in the Project.meta the following code:
.. code-block:: console
Prebuild {
Except main, config: Debug
Except newLib, config: Debug
Except setup, config: Release
}
It is possible to specify the Prebuild tags in all configurations, not only in the main configuration. Logically they will be merged.
In the example above, no configurations will be built - except those three. The prebuild output is used directly.
To reference a configuration of the same project, omit the project name, e.g.:
.. code-block:: console
Except config: Base
To reference all configuration of a project, omit the config name, e.g.:
.. code-block:: console
Except newLib
This prebuild behaviour must be explicitly turned on by using the following the command line argument:
.. code-block:: console
--prebuild
Note, that if objects files exist, the library will be built from existing object files (glob for \*.o in appropriate build folder). If only the archive exists, the archive will be used without building it.
Typical workflow
----------------
1. Compiling the workspace completely without prebuild feature.
2. Executing a distribution script which copies all relevant files to a distribution directory.
Make sure to add all header files of prebuild libraries if they are needed for other non-prebuild libraries.
You may use the dependency files in the output directory for that script.
3. In the distribution folder use "--prebuild" when compiling the workspace.
