(Unix only.) </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>SoftLink</B> <I>target</I> : <I>source</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Makes <I>target</I> a symbolic link to <I>source,</I> if it isn't one already. (Unix only.) </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>SubDir</B> <I>TOP d1 ... dn</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Sets up housekeeping for the source files located in <I><CODE>$(TOP)/d1/.../dn</CODE></I>: <UL> <LI>Reads in rules file associated with <I>TOP</I>, if it hasn't already been read. <LI>Initializes variables for search paths, output directories, compiler flags, and grist, using <I>d1 ... dn</I> tokens. </UL> <P> <I>TOP</I> is the name of a variable; <I>d1</I> thru <I>dn</I> are elements of a directory path. </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>SubDirC++Flags</B> <I>flags</I> ; <BR> <B>SubDirCcFlags</B> <I>flags</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Adds <I>flags</I> to the compiler flags for source files in SubDir's directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>SubDirHdrs</B> <I>d1 ... dn</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Adds the path <I>d1/.../dn/</I> to the header search paths for source files in SubDir's directory. <I>d1</I> through <I>dn</I> are elements of a directory path. </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>SubInclude</B> <I>VAR d1 ... dn</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Reads the Jamfile in <I><CODE>$(VAR)/d1/.../dn/</CODE></I>. </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>Shell</B> <I>image</I> : <I>source</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Copies <I>source</I> into the executable sh(1) script <I>image.</I> Ensures that the first line of the script is $(SHELLHEADER) (default #!/bin/sh). </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>Undefines</B> <I>images</I> : <I>symbols</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> Adds flags to mark <I>symbols</I> as undefined on link command for <I>images</I>. <I>Images</I> may be referenced unsuffixed; the Undefines rule supplies the suffix. </BLOCKQUOTE> <B>UserObject</B> <I>object</I> : <I>source</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE> This rule is called by Object for source files with unknown suffixes, and should be defined in Jamrules with a user-provided rule to handle the source file types not handled by the Object rule.

File targets are objects that can be found in the filesystem. Pseudotargets are symbolic, and usually represent other targets. Most Jambase rules that define file targets also define pseudotargets which are dependent on types of file targets. The Jambase pseudotargets are: <CENTER> <TABLE CELLPADDING=5%> <TR><TD>exe <TD>Executables linked by the Main or MainFromObjects rules <TR><TD>lib <TD>Libraries created by the Library or LibraryFromObjects rules <TR><TD>obj <TD>Compiled objects used to create Main or Library targets <TR><TD>dirs <TD>Directories where target files are written <TR><TD>file <TD>Files copied by File and Bulk rules <TR><TD>shell <TD>Files copied by Shell rule <TR><TD>clean <TD>Removal of built targets (except files copied by Install* rules) <TR><TD>install <TD>Files copied by Install* rules <TR><TD>uninstall <TD>Removal of targets copied by Install* rules </TABLE> </CENTER> <P> In addition, Jambase makes the <b>jam</b> default target "all" depend on "exe", "lib", "obj", "files", and "shell". <P> <HR> <A NAME="VARS"> <H3> Jambase Variables </H3> </A> <P> Most of the following variables have default values for each platform; refer to the Jambase file to see what those defaults are. <P> ALL_LOCATE_TARGET <BLOCKQUOTE> Alternative location of built targets. By default, Jambase rules locate built targets in the source tree. By setting $(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET) in Jamrules, you can cause <b>jam</b> to write built targets to a location outside the source tree. </BLOCKQUOTE> AR <BLOCKQUOTE> The archive command used to update Library and LibraryFromObjects targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> AS <BLOCKQUOTE> The assembler for As rule targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> ASFLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> Flags handed to the assembler for As. </BLOCKQUOTE> AWK <BLOCKQUOTE> The name of awk interpreter, used when copying a shell script for the Shell rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> BCCROOT <BLOCKQUOTE> Selects Borland compile and link actions on NT. </BLOCKQUOTE> BINDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> Not longer used. (I.e., used only for backward compatibility with the obsolete INSTALLBIN rule.) </BLOCKQUOTE> CC <BLOCKQUOTE> C compiler used for Cc rule targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> CCFLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> Compile flags for Cc rule targets. The Cc rule sets target-specific $(CCFLAGS) values on its targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> C++ <BLOCKQUOTE> C++ compiler used for C++ rule targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> C++FLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> Compile flags for C++ rule targets. The C++ rule sets target-specific $(C++FLAGS) values on its targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> CHMOD <BLOCKQUOTE> Program (usually chmod(1)) used to set file permissions for Chmod rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> CP <BLOCKQUOTE> The file copy program, used by File and Install* rules. </BLOCKQUOTE> CRELIB <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, causes the Library rule to invoke the CreLib rule on the target library before attempting to archive any members, so that the library can be created if needed. </BLOCKQUOTE> CW <BLOCKQUOTE> On Macintosh, the root of the Code Warrior Pro 5 directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> DEFINES <BLOCKQUOTE> Preprocessor symbol definitions for Cc and C++ rule targets. The Cc and C++ rules set target-specific $(CCDEFS) values on their targets, based on $(DEFINES). (The "indirection" here is required to support compilers, like VMS, with baroque command line syntax for setting symbols). </BLOCKQUOTE> DOT <BLOCKQUOTE> The operating system-specific name for the current directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> DOTDOT <BLOCKQUOTE> The operating system-specific name for the parent directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> EXEMODE <BLOCKQUOTE> Permissions for executables linked with Link, Main, and MainFromObjects, on platforms with a Chmod action. </BLOCKQUOTE> FILEMODE <BLOCKQUOTE> Permissions for files copied by File or Bulk, on platforms with a Chmod action. </BLOCKQUOTE> FORTRAN <BLOCKQUOTE> The Fortran compiler used by Fortran rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> FORTRANFLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> Fortran compiler flags for Fortran rule targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> GROUP <BLOCKQUOTE> <I>(Unix only.)</I> The group owner for Install* rule targets. </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRGRIST <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, used by the HdrRule to distinguish header files with the same name in diffrent directories. </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRPATTERN <BLOCKQUOTE> A regular expression pattern that matches C preprocessor "#include" directives in source files and returns the name of the included file. </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRRULE <BLOCKQUOTE> Name of the rule to invoke with the results of header file scanning. Default is "HdrRule". <P> This is a jam-special variable. If both HDRRULE and HDRSCAN are set on a target, that target will be scanned for lines matching $(HDRSCAN), and $(HDDRULE) will be invoked on included files found in the matching $(HDRSCAN) lines. </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRS <BLOCKQUOTE> Directories to be searched for header files. This is used by the Object rule to: <UL> <LI>set up search paths for finding files returned by header scans <LI>add -I flags on compile commands </UL> (See STDHDRS.) </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRSCAN <BLOCKQUOTE> Regular expression pattern to use for header file scanning. The Object rule sets this to $(HDRPATTERN). This is a jam-special variable; see HDRRULE. </BLOCKQUOTE> HDRSEARCH <BLOCKQUOTE> Used by the HdrRule to fix the list of directories where header files can be found for a given source file. </BLOCKQUOTE> INSTALLGRIST <BLOCKQUOTE> Used by the Install* rules to grist paths to installed files; defaults to "installed". </BLOCKQUOTE> JAMFILE <BLOCKQUOTE> Default is "Jamfile"; the name of the user-written rules file found in each source directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> JAMRULES <BLOCKQUOTE> Default is "Jamrules"; the name of a rule definition file to be read in at the first SubDir rule invocation. </BLOCKQUOTE> KEEPOBJS <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, tells the LibraryFromObjects rule not to delete object files once they are archived. </BLOCKQUOTE> LEX <BLOCKQUOTE> The lex(1) command and flags. </BLOCKQUOTE> LIBDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> Not longer used. (I.e., used only for backward compatibility with the obsolete INSTALLLIB rule.) </BLOCKQUOTE> LINK <BLOCKQUOTE> The linker. Defaults to $(CC). </BLOCKQUOTE> LINKFLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> Flags handed to the linker. Defaults to $(CCFLAGS). </BLOCKQUOTE> LINKLIBS <BLOCKQUOTE> List of external libraries to link with. The target image does not depend on these libraries. </BLOCKQUOTE> LN <BLOCKQUOTE> The hard link command for HardLink rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> LOCATE_SOURCE <BLOCKQUOTE> Used to set the location of generated source files. The Yacc, Lex, and GenFile rules set LOCATE on their targets to $(LOCATE_SOURCE). $(LOCATE_SOURCE) is initialized by the SubDir rule to the source directory itself. (Also, see ALL_LOCATE_TARGET.) </BLOCKQUOTE> LOCATE_TARGET <BLOCKQUOTE> Used to set the location of built binary targets. The Object rule, and hence the Main and Library rules, set LOCATE on their targets to $(LOCATE_TARGET). $(LOCATE_TARGET) is initialized by the SubDir rule to the source directory itself. (See ALL_LOCATE_TARGET.) </BLOCKQUOTE> MANDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> Not longer used. (I.e., used only for backward compatibility with the obsolete INSTALLMAN rule.) </BLOCKQUOTE> MKDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> The 'create directory' command used for the MkDir rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> MODE <BLOCKQUOTE> The target-specific file mode (permissions) for targets of the Shell, Setuid, Link, and Install* rules. Used by the Chmod action; hence relevant to NT and VMS only. </BLOCKQUOTE> MSVC <BLOCKQUOTE> Selects Microsoft Visual C 16-bit compile & link actions on NT. </BLOCKQUOTE> MSVCNT <BLOCKQUOTE> Selects Microsoft Visual C NT 5.0 and earlier compile & link actions on NT. </BLOCKQUOTE> MSVCDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> Selects Microsoft Visual C NT 6.0 and later compile & link actions on NT. These are identical to versions 5.0 and earlier -- it just seems Microsoft changed the name of the variable. </BLOCKQUOTE> MV <BLOCKQUOTE> The file rename command and options. </BLOCKQUOTE> NEEDLIBS <BLOCKQUOTE> The list of libraries used when linking an executable. Used by the Link rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> NOARSCAN <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, indicates that library members' timestamps can't be found, and prevents the individual objects from being deleted, so that their timestamps can be used instead. </BLOCKQUOTE> NOARUPDATE <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, indicates that libraries can't be updated, but only created whole. </BLOCKQUOTE> OPTIM <BLOCKQUOTE> The C compiler flag for optimization, used by Cc and C++ rules. </BLOCKQUOTE> OSFULL <BLOCKQUOTE> The concatenation of $(OS)$(OSVER)$(OSPLAT), used when jam builds itself to determine the target binary directory. $(OS) and $(OSPLAT) are determined by jam at its compile time (in jam.h). $(OSVER) can optionally be set by the user. </BLOCKQUOTE> OWNER <BLOCKQUOTE> The owner of installed files. Used by Install* rules. </BLOCKQUOTE> RANLIB <BLOCKQUOTE> The name of the ranlib command. If set, causes the Ranlib action to be applied after the Archive action to targets of the Library rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> RELOCATE <BLOCKQUOTE> If set, tells the Cc rule to move the output object file to its target directory because the cc command has a broken -o option. </BLOCKQUOTE> RM <BLOCKQUOTE> The command and options to remove a file. </BLOCKQUOTE> SEARCH_SOURCE <BLOCKQUOTE> The directory to find sources listed with Main, Library, Object, Bulk, File, Shell, InstallBin, InstallLib, and InstallMan rules. This works by setting the jam-special variable SEARCH to the value of $(SEARCH_SOURCE) for each of the rules' sources. The SubDir rule initializes SEARCH_SOURCE for each directory. </BLOCKQUOTE> SHELLHEADER <BLOCKQUOTE> A string inserted to the first line of every file created by the Shell rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> SHELLMODE <BLOCKQUOTE> Permissions for files installed by Shell rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> SOURCE_GRIST <BLOCKQUOTE> Set by the SubDir to a value derived from the directory name, and used by Objects and related rules as 'grist' to perturb file names. </BLOCKQUOTE> STDHDRS <BLOCKQUOTE> Directories where headers can be found without resorting to using the flag to the C compiler. The $(STDHDRS) directories are used to find headers during scanning, but are not passed to the compiler commands as -I paths. </BLOCKQUOTE> SUBDIR <BLOCKQUOTE> The path from the current directory to the directory last named by the SubDir rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> TOP <BLOCKQUOTE> The path from the current directory to the directory that has the Jamrules file. Used by the SubDir rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> SUFEXE <BLOCKQUOTE> The suffix for executable files, if none provided. Used by the Main rule. </BLOCKQUOTE> SUFLIB <BLOCKQUOTE> The suffix for libraries. Used by the Library and related rules. </BLOCKQUOTE> SUFOBJ <BLOCKQUOTE> The suffix for object files. Used by the Objects and related rules. </BLOCKQUOTE> UNDEFFLAG <BLOCKQUOTE> The flag prefixed to each symbol for the Undefines rule (i.e., the compiler flag for undefined symbols). </BLOCKQUOTE> WATCOM <BLOCKQUOTE> Selects Watcom compile and link actions on OS2. </BLOCKQUOTE> YACC <BLOCKQUOTE> The yacc(1) command. </BLOCKQUOTE> YACCFILES <BLOCKQUOTE> The base filename generated by yacc(1). </BLOCKQUOTE> YACCFLAGS <BLOCKQUOTE> The yacc(1) command flags. </BLOCKQUOTE> YACCGEN <BLOCKQUOTE> The suffix used on generated yacc(1) output. </BLOCKQUOTE> <P> <HR> <A HREF="#TOP">Back to top.</A> <P> Copyright 1993-2014 Christopher Seiwald and Perforce Software, Inc. <BR> Comments to <A HREF="mailto:info@perforce.com">info@perforce.com</A> <BR> Last updated: August 27, 2014 <BR> $Id: //guest/perforce_software/jam/src/Jambase.html#11 $ </BODY> </HTML>

Jam 2.3 + Perforce's internal changes. This change is a drop of the Perforce internal Jam changes since the 2.3 public release. The individual changes represented herein are preserved in the //guest/richard_geiger/intjam/ branch. The intent of this drop is to provide a base, from which other contributors' Jam branches may be integrated into. It is not intended to become a packaged release in this state. We will be integrating changes from other users prior to creating the next packaged release. Please refer to the src/RELNOTES file for an overview of the changes present in this integration. - Richard Geiger Open Source Engineer at Perforce |
