4.2.4 Building a Downloadable Application
The project facility uses the GNU make utility to automate compiling and linking
an application. 5 It creates a makefile automatically prior to building the project.
But before it can create a makefile, the makefile dependencies must be calculated.
The calculation process, which is based on the project files’ preprocessor #include
statements, is also an automated feature of the project facility.
Binaries produced by a given build are created in a project subdirectory with the
same name as the name of the build specification (projectName/buildName).
NOTE: All source files in a project are built using a single build specification
(which includes a specific set of makefile, compiler, and linker options) at a time.
If some of your source requires a different build specification from the rest, you can
create a project for it in the same workspace, and customize the build specification
for those files. One project’s build specification can then be modified to link in the
output from the other project. See Linker Options, p.134.
NOTE: The project facility allows you to create specifications for different types of
builds, to modify the options for any one build, and to easily select the build
specification you want to use at any given time. See 4.5 Working With Build
Specifications, p.128.
