command syntax</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The <filepath>bldmake</filepath> tool processes the component description
file (<filepath>bld.inf</filepath>) in the current directory and generates
the batch file <filepath>abld.bat</filepath> and several build batch makefiles
(<filepath>.make</filepath>). The makefiles are used by <filepath>abld</filepath> to
perform the various stages of building the component. </p>
<p><b>Invocation syntax </b> </p>
<p> <codeph>bldmake</codeph> [ <codeph>options</codeph> ] <codeph>command</codeph> [ <codeph>platform</codeph> ] </p>
<p>Details of <varname>command</varname> and <varname>options</varname> are
given in the following tables: </p>
