Description Johnny Willemsen 2008-08-20 04:47:27 CDT

want to extend the bmake mpc type, add an install target and see if we could support static without requiring to regenerate the project files. the goal is to deprecate the borland mpc type asap, just bmake is then used.

A portion of this has been completed.  Here is the relevant portion of the ChangeLog entry.

Tue Aug  4 16:29:11 UTC 2009  Chad Elliott  <elliott_c@ociweb.com>

        * modules/TemplateParser.pm:

          Added implementations of various template functions.  Some were
          required for the bmake template change below.                  

        * templates/bmake.mpd:
        * templates/bmakedll.mpt:
        * templates/bmakedllexe.mpt:
        
          Added the ability to build static projects without providing the
          -static option to MPC.  The static-only projects can still be   
          created with the -static option, but it is no longer necessary.

Chad or Johnny, could one of you please specify what else has to be done before this bug is closed?

I don't know the details out of my head, the only way is to try to use bmake and see what works and what doesn't work.

Comment 4 Chad Elliott 2010-09-01 14:14:00 CDT

The change that I made for this allows building dynamic and static targets with the same makefile.  I'm not sure what "install target" entails.

Comment 5 Johnny Willemsen 2010-09-01 14:15:09 CDT

With install I probably meant the option to do a make install, just as we now have with gnuace
