-to use abld</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
-<p>The <filepath>abld.bat</filepath> batch file is used to control all aspects
-of building a project. It is created in the current directory by the <filepath>bldmake</filepath> tool
-from a component description file <filepath>bld.inf</filepath>. </p>
-<p>The syntax reference for this tool exhaustively lists all of the possible
-build operations which can be performed using <filepath>abld</filepath>. The
-tool's flexibility obscures the fact that most Symbian developers will only
-need to use two commands: one for cleaning up all files created in a previous
-build, and another for building the current project. </p>
-<section><title>Cleaning</title> <p>Cleaning removes all the intermediate
-files created during compilation, and all the executables and import libraries
-created by the linker. The simplest invocation of this operation deletes the
-files for all platforms, and projects belonging to the component. </p> <p><userinput>abld
-clean</userinput> </p> <p>It is also possible to specify the platform and
-build variant to be cleaned. </p> </section>
-<section><title>Building</title> <p> <filepath>abld</filepath> builds projects
-based on the makefiles created by <filepath>bldmake</filepath> from the component
-information file and project files. </p> <p>The simplest invocation of this
-command builds the project for all possible build variants: </p> <p><userinput>abld
-build</userinput> </p> <p>However building for a platform can take some time,
-and it is usual to only specify the platform required. For example, to build
-the debug version on the WINSCW platform specify: </p> <p><userinput>abld
-build winscw udeb</userinput> </p> <p>or to build the release version for
-ARMV5 use: </p> <p><userinput>abld build armv5 urel</userinput> </p><note>The <codeph>build</codeph> command
-combines the other <filepath>abld</filepath> commands: <codeph>export</codeph>, <codeph>makefile</codeph>, <codeph>library</codeph>, <codeph>resource</codeph>, <codeph>target</codeph> and <codeph>final</codeph>, which are carried out
-in turn. </note> <p><b>See also </b> </p> <p><xref href="GUID-5A3A3EA0-6C03-56F2-B277-B61A27ABFF9E.dita">Abld
