file syntax overview</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Component definition files, which are always called <filepath>bld.inf</filepath>,

are used by <filepath>bldmake</filepath> to define the <filepath>abld.bat</filepath> and

makefiles to be created. </p>

<p> <filepath>bld.inf</filepath> files are made up of a number of sections,

with headers <codeph>prj_platforms</codeph>, <codeph>prj_exports</codeph>, <codeph>prj_testexports</codeph>,

and <codeph>prj_mmpfiles</codeph>. </p>

<p>Note that: </p>

<ul>

<li id="GUID-875CF96D-B898-5119-A001-61F3F71855F3"><p>Each section header

can appear any number of times in the file (including none). </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-92F814D6-0BD4-580F-9A00-3F738751205A"><p>The section headers

and their data are case-insensitive. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-C8A564A9-E6DB-5AD1-863C-656D4EE51162"><p>A trailing backslash

is used to indicate a line continuation. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-F59AFB06-DA52-5183-B642-97900C9858DB"><p>Use the C++ style comment

syntax for comments. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-873B038F-3E47-5E51-9C1D-CC4E13F91F4E"><p>Preprocessor directives
