The build process

To build a shared library, compile your source files, generate your .e file, and link against other .e files. For building applications, use MakeSharedLib (see page 85 for more details).

To build a program or executable, compile your source files and link against .e files using MakeSharedApp. Your source files must contain a main entry point. (See "MakeSharedApp" on page 85 for more details.)

To automate the build process, use makefile descriptions to specify the files to be built, and use CreateMake to translate the descriptions and to build the files.

CAUTION The build tools don't test to see if your component, application, or library has the same name as one used by the system. The build process automatically overwrites the Taligent file if yours has a duplicate name.
