build/bakefiles/README

   1
   2 This directory contains Bakefile (see http://bakefile.sourceforge.net)
   3 files needed to generate native makefiles for wxWindows library, contrib and
   4 samples.
   5
   6 Use the bakefile_gen utility to regenerate the makefiles. If you run it with
   7 no arguments, it will generate all makefiles that are not up to date.
   8
   9 Use "bakefile_gen -c" to clean generated files.
  10
  11 You can generate or clean only subset of files by specifying -f or -b flags
  12 when invoking bakefile_gen. For example, "bakefile_gen -fborland,watcom" will
  13 only regenerate Borland C++ and OpenWatcom makefiles. -b flag limits
  14 regeneration only to specified bakefiles. For example,
  15 "bakefile_gen -b wx.bkl" will only regenerate main library makefiles.
  16 "bakefile_gen -b '../../samples/html/*/*.bkl' will regenerate makefiles for
  17 all wxHTML samples. -b and -f can be combined.
  18
  19 You can customize the process of generating makefiles by adding file
  20 Bakefiles.local.bkgen (same format as Bakefiles.bkgen) with further settings.
  21 For example, you may disable output for compilers you don't use:
  22    <del-formats>msvc,msvc6prj</del-formats>
  23
  24 Note: bakefile_gen creates file .bakefile_gen.state with dependencies
  25 information. This file can be safely deleted, but it contains valuable
  26 information that speed up regeneration process.
  27
  28 Note: the following files are generated using bakefile_gen:
  29   * build/msw/*
  30   * contrib/build/* (except .bkl files)
  31   * makefiles with same names as makefiles in above dirs, Makefile.in files
  32     that contain "This makefile was generated by Bakefile" banner and
  33     VC++ project files in samples, demos and utils directories (inc. contrib
  34     ones)
  35   * src/wxWindows.dsp
  36   * {wxGTK,wxMotif,wxX11}.spec (only wxBase headers list)
  37   * autoconf_inc.m4
  38   * all Makefile.in files
