Hi all,
hopefully some one can point me in the right direction.
Problem:
I am trying to compile gui code using the borland compiler.
The linker requires
access (-L definition) to the location of 1 or more .dfm
file associated with 1
or more libraries.
So for instance if I have the following Jamfiles:
----------------
guilib/Jamfile
lib GuiLib : some_form.cpp : <link>static
;
----------------
main/Jamfile
exe somemain :
exe gui_test_runner : gui_test_runner ../guilib//GuiLib : :
:
;
GuiLib has a dependancy on a .dfm file which the exe target
in main/Jamfile has
no way of knowing about, which in turn generates a link
error.
Solutions:
1. I would like to add the .dfm file to the library source
list so it is picked
up as a dependancy for the library, which could then
generate a -L path for the
link stage.
Example:
----------------
guilib/Jamfile
lib GuiLib : some_form.cpp some_form.dfm :
<link>static
;
2. Define a feature (similar to def-file is msvc toolset)
which allows me to
specify something in the Jamfile that can be used to
generate a link line.
Example:
----------------
guilib/Jamfile
lib GuiLib : some_form.cpp : <dfm-file>some_form.dfm
<link>static
;
I have tried approach no 2 and had no success. approach 1
feels more right but I
am not sure where to start.
Questions:
1. which is the best approach?
2. any examples around i can use to help me along?
any feedback appreciated
mal
