    12 <concept id="GUID-8DB5E558-9774-5CC3-AF8C-6C50D9FE0496" xml:lang="en"><title>How

    13 to use makmake</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    14 <p>Symbian projects are defined by an <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file which

    15 specifies the essential elements of the project. The <filepath>makmake</filepath> tool

    16 then uses this environment-neutral file to build makefiles for use in various

    17 environments. These makefiles are then used for project development. </p>

    18 <p>Some makefiles are built for use in building the project from the command-line,

    19 while others are for use with an IDE. Command-line makefiles created by <filepath>makmake</filepath> contain

    20 syntax which it is not possible to incorporate into makefiles intended for

    21 an IDE: these are discussed below. </p>

    22 <section><title>Building and running a project for WINSCW</title> <p>Starting

    23 with <filepath>hello.mmp</filepath>, you can build the makefile file <filepath>hello.winscw</filepath> using: </p> <p><userinput>makmake

    24 hello winscw</userinput> </p> <p>You then build the project from the command

    25 line by running: </p> <p><userinput>make -f hello.winscw</userinput> </p> </section>

    26 <section><title>Building debug and release variants</title> <p>A command line

    27 makefile produced by <filepath>makmake</filepath> allows the executable (an

    28 EXE or any type of <filepath>DLL</filepath>) to be produced in one of two

    29 variants: </p> <ul>

    30 <li id="GUID-277C7FEF-E82E-534B-9D4A-E7202C55D902"><p> <filepath>udeb</filepath>:

    31 debug mode </p> </li>

    32 <li id="GUID-3E123400-CB9C-593B-8D10-9717FE0B52D4"><p> <filepath>urel</filepath>:

    33 release mode </p> </li>

    34 </ul> <p>which may be selected by specifying the variant as a target. </p> <p>For

    35 example, to build the <filepath>udeb</filepath> variant of the executable,

    36 you can do: </p> <p><userinput>make -f hello.armi udeb</userinput> </p> <p>If <filepath>make</filepath> /<filepath>nmake</filepath> is

    37 invoked with no target specified, then the following default targets will

    38 be built: the default for ARM is release mode; the default for WINSCW, and

    39 WINC is debug mode. </p> <p>You may use path specifications to locate the <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file

    40 in any directory. </p> <p>For example: </p> <p><userinput>makmake ..\..epoc32ex\e32\hello

    41 armv5</userinput> </p> <p>or </p> <p><userinput>makmake ..\..epoc32ex\e32\hello

    42 cw_ide</userinput> </p> <p>will locate the specified <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file.

    43 However, the generated <filepath>makmake</filepath> files are always written

    44 into the current directory. </p> </section>

    45 <section><title>Command line makefile utilities</title> <p>Command-line makefiles

    46 provide extra makefile targets which enable you to use <filepath>make</filepath> or <filepath>nmake</filepath> to

    47 create work directories and erase non-source files for a particular build

    48 variant of a project. </p> <p>For example, </p> <ul>

    49 <li id="GUID-E6B4369D-C966-59F4-A44B-E708930DB07F"><p> <systemoutput>make

    50 -f hello.winscw clean</systemoutput> attempts to delete the non-source files

    51 created during a build of all variants of the project <filepath>hello</filepath> </p> </li>

    52 <li id="GUID-C9E915E0-6339-5A74-9BDC-BD62D3B79B67"><p> <systemoutput>make

    53 -f hello.winscw makework</systemoutput> will create the work directories for

    54 a build of all variants of the project hello, while <codeph>nmake        

    55         -f hello.wins makeworkurel</codeph> will create the work directories

    56 for a wide release build of the project. </p> </li>

    57 </ul> <p>The build-specific <codeph>makework</codeph> targets are listed as

    58 dependencies of the main build-specific targets in command-line makefiles,

    59 so work directories will automatically be created when a target is built with

    60 a command-line makefile if these directories do not already exist. </p> </section>
