Introduction to CMAKE

CMAKE is a program maintenance utility designed especially for the
Microsoft(R) C and Microsoft Windows(TM) programmer. CMAKE is
like a generic make facility in that it processes a make file in
order to determine which commands need to be executed to renew a
given program that is under development. However, the make file
for CMAKE is much simpler than that of a generic make utility.
For most cases, user-supplied dependencies are not required.
CMAKE will automatically determine which commands are required by
deducing all dependencies directly from the commands themselves.

Despite the fact that CMAKE must determine all dependencies for
you, CMAKE executes faster than most generic make utilities
running on a make file in which all dependencies have been
explicitly specified.

CMAKE currently supports the following commands: CL, LIB, LINK,
MASM, RC, COPY, SET and REM. The user may expand this list by
defining additional commands in the CMAKE configuration file.

CMAKE is a shareware program, written and maintained by John
Greschak. To become a registered user of CMAKE, send $25 to:

NY, NY 10001

CMAKE was designed to run under MS-DOS(R).

How CMAKE Works

Creating a Make File for CMAKE

Study the samples that have been included with CMAKE. Hopefully,
one of these sample programs may serve as a template for your make
file.

See: Samples

If you stray from the style of the samples, you might have some
difficulty because CMAKE does not recognize all possible command-
line formats for each command. For example, CMAKE requires that
you use a response file with the commands, LIB and LINK. To
guarantee success, you should become familiar with the
restrictions that CMAKE imposes on the commands that you will be
using in your make files.

See: Command-Line Restrictions

CL
COPY
LIB
LINK
MASM
RC/A
RC/C
RC/W

Running CMAKE

Once you have created a make file, you will be ready to execute
CMAKE. To do this, enter the command:

CMAKE /n make_file_name

Alternatively, if your make file is named "makefile" and you
are in your make-file's directory, you may omit the make-file
name and enter the command:

CMAKE /n

The /n option will prevent CMAKE from executing any commands
from the make file. You should continue to use the /n option
until CMAKE does not generate any error messages.

See: Error Messages

Once you have eliminated all CMAKE error messages, remove the /n
option and execute CMAKE again. This time CMAKE will execute all
of the commands that are necessary to update your application.

See: Interpreting the Output of CMAKE

At this point, you should perform some simple tests to ensure that
CMAKE will generate the correct list of required commands when you
modify one of your source files. (There are utility programs
available that may be used to modify the time stamp of a given
file. A program such as this, which is usually called "touch",
provides an efficient way to modify your source files.) Modify
one of your source files, execute CMAKE, and check to be sure that
your application has been properly updated. Repeat this process
for different source files.

If you are having difficulty in understanding why CMAKE is not
updating your application properly, you might gain more insight
into the cause of the problem by adding the /v option to the
CMAKE command line. For example, you could use the command:

CMAKE /n /v make_file_name

The use of the /v option will cause CMAKE to generate a verbose
description of its activity. This description contains detailed
information concerning the processing of the make file and the
configuration file (if you are using one). With the /v option,
CMAKE will list all of the time stamp comparisons that it performs
in route to determining which commands in the make file are
required.

While you are debugging your make file, you might find it helpful
to review the batch program, "makefile.bat", that CMAKE creates
and executes. (Note that when the /n option is used,
"makefile.bat" is created but not executed.)

Finally, you may wish to collect the output of CMAKE in a file and
then review that file in you editor. To do this, you may use the
MS-DOS redirection character, '>'. For example, the following
command could be used to redirect the output of CMAKE to the file,
"cmake.log":

CMAKE >cmake.log

See: Using CMAKE with Your Editor

Interpreting the Output of CMAKE

As CMAKE processes a given make file, it sends information
concerning its activity to standard output. CMAKE supports both
a concise and verbose format for this output. The default format
is concise. The verbose format may be requested through the use
of the /v CMAKE command-line option. This topic describes the
data that is contained in the concise/default format for CMAKE
output.

The first two lines of output give the current date and time, the
CMAKE version number, and the copyright notice for CMAKE.

The next line has the form:

make_file_name >-CMAKE-> batch_file_name

where make_file_name is the name of the make file (input file)
that CMAKE is processing and batch_file_name is the full name of
the batch program (output file), "makefile.bat", that CMAKE
creates and executes after processing the given make file.

This is followed by a list of all of the commands in the make file
that must be executed. Each line of this list has the following
form:

command_name make_file_line_number reason_why_command_is_required

For example, the list might consist of the following four lines:

cl 2 INC w.h > OBJ x.obj
lib 41 OBJ x.obj > LIB y.lib
link 51 LIB y.lib > EXE z.exe

The first line shows that the CL command on line 2 of the make
file is required because the include file, "w.h", is newer than
the object file, "x.obj". The second line shows that the LIB
command on line 41 of the make file is required because the object
file, "x.obj" is newer than the library file, "y.lib". Finally,
the third line of the list indicates that the LINK command on line
51 of the make file is required because the library file, "y.lib"
is newer than the executable file, "z.exe".

This list is followed by a line that gives the amount of time used
by CMAKE to create the batch program, "makefile.bat".

A line is drawn after the execution time to separate the output of
CMAKE from the output of the commands that CMAKE executes.

One of the following messages is provided at the end of the output
that is generated:

ALL TARGETS ARE UP TO DATE

This message indicates that CMAKE has determined that none of the
commands in the make file need to be executed.

ALL TARGETS WERE SUCCESSFULLY RENEWED

This message indicates that CMAKE has determined that some of the
commands in the make file were required and that all of these
required commands were executed and returned zero (indicating
success).

FAILURE - SOME TARGETS WERE NOT RENEWED

This indicates that some commands in the make file were required
and executed. However, one of the commands returned a nonzero
value (indicating an error). In this case, all of the required
commands that follow the command that failed are not executed and
CMAKE returns a nonzero value.

CMAKE Error Messages

The following two formats are used for CMAKE error messages:

fatal error Mnnnn: message
file_name(line_number) : error Mnnnn: message

Most of the error messages use the second format. Many popular
programmer's editors (e.g. BRIEF(R), Epsilon(TM), and the
Microsoft Editor) are able to parse error messages in this form
in order to place you in at line 'line_number'.

See: Using CMAKE with Your Editor
CMAKE Errors

How CMAKE Works

While CMAKE processes a given make file, it builds a batch program
called, "makefile.bat". When it is completed, "makefile.bat"
consists of all of the commands from the make file that were
determined (by CMAKE) to be "required". After the make file has
been fully processed, CMAKE executes "makefile.bat".

CMAKE views a command in the make file as an entity that uses
source files to create target files. Generally speaking, a
command will be required when one of the following conditions is
true:

1. At least one of the target files for the command does not
exist.
2. There is some source file for the command that is newer than
some target file for the command.

A command that is determined to be required, is appended to the
batch program "makefile.bat". Note that a required command will
not be executed until CMAKE has processed the entire make file.

It is often the case that the target file of a given command will
serve as a source file for another command that occurs later in
the make file. For example, the target file of a CL command is an
object file. Usually, this object file will serve as a source
file for a LINK command that occurs after the CL command in the
make file. If the CL command is required, then the LINK command
that depends upon the object generated by the CL command, should
also be required. This overlapping of the target files of one
command with the source files of another command causes a "chain
reaction" of required commands.

Since the required commands are not executed as they are found,
but accumulated into the file, "makefile.bat" (for later use),
CMAKE must keep track of all of the target files of each required
command to ensure that the correct "chain reactions" occur. In
some sense, CMAKE simulates the execution of each required
command. It does this by creating a fresh "pseudofile" for every
target file of a required command. Whenever CMAKE attempts to
find the time stamp of a particular file, it first searches the
set of pseudofiles. If the given file is not found among the
pseudofiles, then CMAKE searches for the real/original version of
the file.

Examples

CMAKE

This command will cause CMAKE to attempt to process a make file
called, "makefile". CMAKE will assume that "makefile" is located
in the current directory. A batch program called, "makefile.bat",
will be created in the current directory and CMAKE will execute
this program (provided the statement, "run_output_file = no", has
not been given in the CMAKE configuration file). CMAKE will
use its concise output format to display information as it
processes the make file.

CMAKE /od:\temp

This command will cause CMAKE to attempt to process a make file
called, "makefile". CMAKE will assume that "makefile" is located
in the current directory. A batch program called, "makefile.bat",
will be created in the directory, "d:\temp", which has been
supplied with the /o option. This program will be executed
(provided the statement, "run_output_file = no", has not been
given in the CMAKE configuration file). CMAKE will use its
concise output format to display information as it processes the
make file.

CMAKE /n /v >d:\temp\cmake.log

This command will cause CMAKE to attempt to process a make file
called, "makefile". CMAKE will assume that "makefile" is located
in the current directory. A batch program called, "makefile.bat",
will be created in the current directory. Since the /n has been
specified, CMAKE will not execute "makefile.bat". Since the /v
has been specified, CMAKE will use its verbose output format to
display information as it processes the make file. The output
from CMAKE will be directed to the file, "d:\temp\cmake.log".
The combination of options given in this example might be used to
debug a make file.

CMAKE c:\mak\test.mak

This command will cause CMAKE to attempt to process a make file
called, "c:\mak\test.mak". A batch program called,
"makefile.bat", will be created in the current directory and CMAKE
will execute this program (provided the statement,
"run_output_file = no", has not been given in the CMAKE
configuration file). CMAKE will use its concise output format to
display information as it processes the make file.

CMAKE Options

Command-line options may be given in upper or lowercase.

With the exception of the make-file name, options must be prefixed
by a '/' or '-' character.

Display Command-Line Help for CMAKE (/?)

Syntax: /?

The /? option is used to display command-line help.

Display Information about CMAKE (/a)

Syntax: /a

The /a option is used to display information on how to contact the
author of CMAKE and on how to become a registered user of CMAKE.

Display Help on CMAKE (/help)

Syntax: /help or /h

The /help option is used to display the CMAKE help file you are
reading. If you would like to use this option, place the
QuickHelp program, QH.EXE, in your current directory or PATH.

Suppress Command Execution by CMAKE (/n)

Syntax: /n

The /n option suppresses the execution of commands. This switch
takes precedence over the Boolean variable, run_output_file, which
may be used in the configuration file. With this switch, the
batch program, "makefile.bat", is created but not executed. You
might wish to use this option to help you debug your make file.

Specify the Path of "makefile.bat" (/o)

Syntax: /o

The /o option is used to specify the path of "makefile.bat" (the
batch program that CMAKE creates and executes). When the /o
option is omitted, "makefile.bat" is placed in the current
directory.

Select Verbose Diagnostic Output from CMAKE (/v)

Syntax: /v

The /v option is used to request the verbose format for CMAKE
output. When this option is used, CMAKE provides detailed
information concerning the processing of the configuration file
and make file. You might wish to use this option to help you
debug your make file.

Specify the Make-File Name (filename)

Syntax: filename

The filename option is used to specify the make-file name. If
this option is omitted, CMAKE assumes that the make file is
called, "makefile", and is located in the current directory.

Description of the Make File

A make file lists the operations that are required to build a
particular program.

CMAKE processes a given make file to determine which commands must
be executed in order to update a program that is under
development.

A make file for CMAKE consists of a mixture of commands, if
statements, and comments.

Example

/* Make File */

cl /c /W4 hello.c
cl /c /W4 world.c
lib @message.lrf
cl /c /W4 greeting.c
link @greeting.lnk

In the sample make file given above, "message.lrf" is a LIB
response file that consists of the following lines:

message.lib
y
-+hello.obj &
-+world.obj ;

and "greeting.lnk" is a LINK response file that consists of the
following lines:

greeting.obj
greeting.exe /stack:2048
NUL
message.lib ;

Make-File Commands

Make file commands may be divided into the following four classes:

Intrinsic Commands
User-Defined Commands
Equivalent Commands
Unrecognized Commands

The method that CMAKE uses to determine if a given command is
required is dictated by the class of the command.

Intrinsic Commands

A make-file command is said to be "intrinsic" if CMAKE has some
"built-in" knowledge of the how to determine whether or not the
command is required.

The intrinsic commands are: CL, LIB, LINK, MASM, RC, COPY, SET,
and REM.

Description of CL

CL is a program that is distributed with the Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler. It provides a command-line interface to the
compiler programs.

When is a CL Command Required?

A given CL command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. The object file does not exist.
2. The source file is newer than the object file.
3. There is an include file that is newer than the object file.

These conditions are checked in order. If any condition is found
to be true, the remaining conditions are not checked.

The CL Command Line

Source-File Name

Only one source-file name may be specified. No global characters
are allowed in the given source-file name. The source-file name
must be placed at the end of the command line. No default
extension is assumed for the source file. If a path is not
specified, it is assumed that the source file is located in the
current directory.

Object-File Name

The base name of the object file is assumed to be the same as the
base name of the source file and the object-file extension is
assumed to be '.obj'. The /Fo (or equivalently, -Fo) option may
be used to specify the path of the object file. If the /Fo option
is used, the path that is given with this option must be
terminated with a backslash. If the /Fo option is not used, it is
assumed that the object file is located in the current directory.

Options

Options may appear anywhere between the CL command name and the
source-file name. The /c option (compile but do not link) must be
used.

Examples

command: cl /c /W3 test.c
source file: current_directory\test.c
object file: current_directory\test.obj

command: cl /c /W3 /Fo..\obj\ ..\c\test.c
source file: ..\c\test.c
object file: ..\obj\test.obj

How CMAKE Processes a C-Source File

When the object file of a CL command exists, and it is newer than
the source file, CMAKE will process the C-source file in order to
determine whether or not there is an include file that is newer
than the object file. CMAKE will extract include-file names from
the include statements that are given in the C-source file.

CMAKE recognizes two forms of the include statement: local and
system.

Local-Include Statements

The term "local-include statement" is used to refer to an include
statement that has the form:

#include "filename"

and the file associated with such an include statement is said to
be a "local-include file".

System-Include Statements

The term "system-include statement" is used to refer to an include
statement that has the form:

#include

and the file associated with such an include statement is said to
be a "system-include file".

Sensitivity to Local- and System-Include Statements

The "sensitivity to local-include statements" and the "sensitivity
to system-include statements" may be thought of as Boolean state
variables for CMAKE. If the sensitivity to local-include
statements is "on", and CMAKE encounters a local-include
statement, CMAKE will check to see if the include file associated
with the include statement is newer than the object file.
Otherwise, if the sensitivity to local-include statements is
"off", CMAKE will ignore the local-include statement. Likewise,
if the sensitivity to system-include statements is "on", and CMAKE
encounters a system-include statement, CMAKE will check to see if
the include file associated with the include statement is newer
than the object file. Otherwise, if the sensitivity to system-
include statements is "off", CMAKE will ignore the system-include
statement.

By default, the sensitivity to local-include statements is "on",
and the sensitivity to system-include statements is "off".

The sensitivity to local-include statements and the sensitivity
to system-include statements may be altered through the use of a
variety of switches.

For each source file, CMAKE uses the Boolean variables,
c_include_""_on and c_include_<>_on, to initialize the sensitivity
to local- and system-include statements, respectively.

Within a given C-source file, any of the following C comments may
be used to modify the sensitivity to local- or system-include
statements:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

Locating Include Files

If CMAKE does obtain an include-file name from an include
statement, it will attempt to determine the directory in which
the file is located. If the file is a local-include file, CMAKE
will look for the file in the directory in which the source file
for the given CL command is located. If the include file is not
found in the source-file's directory, CMAKE will search the
directories specified by the INCLUDE environment variable (if it
is defined), one by one, from left to right. On the other hand,
if the file is a system-include file, CMAKE will only look for the
file in the directories given by the INCLUDE environment variable.

To prevent CMAKE from searching for local-include files in the
source-file's directory, use the following statement in the
configuration file:

search_source_dir_for_includes = no

Scanning Include Files for Include Statements

By default, CMAKE does not scan include files for include
statements. To force CMAKE to scan include files for include
statements, place the following statement in your configuration
file:

scan_include_files_for_includes = yes

Alternatively, you may place the following commands anywhere
within your make file (except within the body of an if statement)
to achieve a "local" effect:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

When a REM statement of this type is used, all of the CL commands
that follow the statement will be affected.

The End-of-Includes Comment

If CMAKE encounters the comment:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

while scanning a C-source file, it will stop processing the file,
i.e. CMAKE will not read any lines in the source file that occur
after this comment.

Although it is not required, you should place this comment after
the last include statement in any C-source files that will be
scanned by CMAKE. If you do this, you will reduce the amount of
time that CMAKE takes to execute.

The Procedure Used to Examine a C-Source File

For a given CL command, CMAKE uses the following process to
scan the C-source file in order to determine whether or not there
is an include file that is newer than the object file:

A. Initialize the sensitivity to local-include statements
and system-include statements.

B. Read a line from the source file.

C. If we are at the end of the source file

Go to step G - there are no include files in this source
file that are newer than the object file.

D. Skip leading white space on the line.

E. If the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */

Enable the sensitivity to local-include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */

Disable the sensitivity to local-include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

Enable the sensitivity to system-include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */

Disable the sensitivity to system-include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

Go to step G - there are no include files in this
source file that are newer than the object file.

Else if the line begins with the character, '#'

1. Skip white space following the '#' character.

2. If the next token is 'include'

a. Skip white space following the 'include'
token.

b. If (the next character is '"' and the
sensitivity to local includes is on) or (the
next character is '<' and the sensitivity to
system includes is on)

i. Copy the include-file name.

ii. If the include file is local and the
configuration data specifies that we
must search for include files in the
source-file directory

Search for the include file in the
source-file directory (the full
include-file name is obtained by
prefixing the source-file path to
the include-file name derived from
the source file).

iii. If the include file has not yet been
found

Search for the include file in the
paths given by the INCLUDE
environment variable.

iv. If the include file is newer than the
object file

Go to step G - there is an
include file that is newer
than the object file.

Else if the configuration data
specifies that we must scan include
files for include statements

Save the include-file name

F. Go to step B

G. If we must scan include files for include statements and an
include file that is newer than the object file has not yet
been found

For each saved include file, repeat the process given above
(beginning with step A) with the include file playing the
role of the source file. Continue until all saved include
files have been examined or an include file that is newer
than the object file is found.

Switches for CL

The following switches may be used to affect the way in which
CMAKE processes a CL command:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

C comment statement in C-source or -include files. Used to
indicate that there are no include statements after the comment.

scan_include_files_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should scan include files for include
statements. (Default: no).

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

Make file commands. Used to indicate whether or not CMAKE should
scan include files for include statements. These commands take
precedence over the Boolean variable,
scan_include_files_for_includes, which may be set in the
configuration file.

search_source_dir_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should look for local-include files in the
source-file's directory before using the INCLUDE environment
variable. (Default: yes).

c_include_""_on
c_include_<>_on

Boolean variables set in the configuration file. Used to control
the initial sensitivity for each source file to local- and system-
include statements. c_include_""_on (Default: yes).
c_include_<>_on (Default: no)

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

C comment statements in C-source or -include files. Used to
modify the sensitivity to local- and system-include statements.
The effect of these switches is local. They only affect the
processing of the source file in which they are contained. These
switches take precedence over the Boolean variables,
c_include_""_on and c_include_<>_on, which may be set in the
configuration file.

Some Restrictions on CL

Preprocessor Directives

#include is the only preprocessor directive that CMAKE recognizes.
One of the implications of this is that CMAKE will not ignore
conditionally compiled include statements based upon whether or
not a particular identifier has been defined (either with a
#define statement or through the use of the /D CL command-line
option). For example, in the following section of source code, if
the sensitivity to local-include statements is on, CMAKE will not
skip the include statement - regardless of whether or not the
identifier, INCLUDE_TEST_H, has been defined:

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
#include "test.h"
#endif

Any of the following approaches could be taken to instruct CMAKE
to ignore this include statement:

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
#include "test.h"
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
#endif

or

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
// #include "test.h"
#endif

or

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
/* #include "test.h" */
#endif

Include-File Names

The full path of an include file may not be given in an include
statement (i.e. the include-file name must not begin with a drive
or a '\' character). However, relative paths may be used (i.e.
the include-file name may begin with dots (..) or a directory
name).

Error Handling with CL

If a CL command is required, CMAKE will add the CL command to the
batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert the
following command after the CL command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if the CL command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), "makefile.bat" will terminate.

Output from CMAKE for CL

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given CL command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:


OBJ object_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC source_file > OBJ

This indicates that is newer than the object file.

INC include_file > OBJ object_file

This indicates that is newer than .

Examples

cl 35 OBJ test.obj Does Not Exist
cl 35 SRC test.c > OBJ
cl 35 INC test.h > OBJ test.obj

Verbose Output from CMAKE for CL

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given CL command is required.

Examples: CL Not Required

more files from one location to another.

The COPY Command Line

The COPY command must be of the following form:

copy source target

Both and are required. and
may be a file or directory (but not a root directory). If
(or ) is a file, and the path of the file is not
specified, it is assumed that the file is located in the current
directory.

When is a COPY Command Required?

The conditions under which a given COPY command (of the form:
copy source target) will be required, depend upon the "type" of
the COPY command. There are four possible types:


Type

Type ff file file
Type fd file directory
Type df directory file
Type dd directory directory


Regardless of the "type" of the COPY command, if does not
exist, the COPY command will be required. Otherwise, the
conditions are as follows:

Type ff: copy source_file target_file

If the source file is newer than the target file, the COPY command
will be required

Type fd: copy source_file target_directory

The target-file name is constructed from the target directory name
and the source-file name. If the target file does not exist, or
if the source file is newer than the target file, the COPY command
will be required.

Type df: copy source_directory target_file

The COPY command will always be required in this case.

Type dd: copy source_directory target_directory

If the source directory is empty, the COPY command will not be
required. Otherwise, for each file, , in the source
directory, the corresponding target-file name is constructed from
and . If does not
exist, or if is newer than , the
following COPY command will be required:

copy source_file target_file

Some Restrictions on COPY

Global Characters

The source and target names may not contain the global characters,
'*' and '?'.

Concatenation

CMAKE does not support the concatenation operator, '+', for the
COPY command.

Options

Options (e.g. /A, /B, and /V) may only be placed after the target
name. White space must be placed between the target name and the
first option. The options, /A and /B, may not be used after the
source name.

Reserved Device Names

The reserved device names: PRN, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, CON, COM1, COM2,
COM3, COM4, and AUX, may be used for source and target names.
However, the results will be predictable. Regardless of whether
or not the source name is a reserved device name, if the target
name is a reserved device name, the COPY command will not be
required. If the source name is a reserved device name, and the
target name is not a reserved device name, the COPY command will
be required.

Error Handling with COPY

CMAKE will usually insert the following command into the batch
file, "makefile.bat", after a required command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

However, this is not done in the case of the COPY command because
the COPY command does not return a nonzero value when it fails.

Output from CMAKE for COPY

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given COPY command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:

TRG target_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC source_file > TRG target_file

This indicates that is newer than .

SRC source_dir is a Directory and TRG target_file is a File

This indicates that the source of the COPY command is a directory
and the target is a file. (This form of the COPY command is
always required.)

Examples

copy 12 TRG test.trg Does Not Exist
copy 12 SRC test.src > TRG test.trg
copy 12 SRC \s is a Directory and test.trg is a File

Verbose Output from CMAKE for COPY

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given COPY command is required.

In the following two examples, "\s" and "\t" are directories, and
the files in the directory, "\s", are: "1.txt", "2.txt", "3.txt",
"4.txt", and "5.txt".

Description of LIB

LIB is a program that is distributed with the Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler and the Microsoft Macro Assembler. It is used
to create and maintain library files.

When is a LIB Command Required?

A given LIB command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. The library file does not exist.
2. A component file (object or library) is newer than the library
file.

These conditions are checked in order. If any condition is found
to be true, the remaining conditions are not checked.

The LIB Command Line

Examples: A Library of Objects
A Library of Libraries

Command Line

The library-file name, component files (objects or libraries), and
options must be specified in a LIB response file. The first non-
white-space character that follows the LIB command name must be
'@'. This character must be followed by a response-file name.
White space is allowed between the character, '@', and the
response-file name. The response-file name may be followed by
white space or a semicolon. If the path of the response file is
not specified, it is assumed that the response file is located in
the current directory.

Response File

The library-file name must be placed at the beginning of the first
line of the response file. White space may precede the library-
file name. No default extension is assumed for the library file.
If the path of the library is not specified, it is assumed that
the library is located in the current directory. All LIB options
must be placed after the library-file name. White space must be
used to separate the library-file name and the first option.

The letter, 'y', must be placed on the second line of the
response file. This is used as the answer to the LIB prompt:
"Library does not exist. Create? (y/n)", in the case where the
library does not exist. White space may precede and follow the
character, 'y'.

The last section of the response file consists of the set of
component-file names. CMAKE accepts two formats for this list.
The list may contain either a set of object files or a set of
library files. Regardless of the format used, each line in this
section may contain only one file name. Each file name must be
preceded by an operation. If the list contains a set of objects,
each object-file name must be preceded by the "replace" command
symbol, '-+'. If the list contains a set of libraries, each
library-file name must be preceded by the "add" command symbol,
'+'. White space may be placed before the command symbols,
between the '-' and '+' characters of the '-+' command symbol, and
between the command symbol and the component-file name. No
default extension is assumed for the component files. If the path
of a component file is not specified, it is assumed that the
component file is located in the current directory. Except for
the last component in the list, each component-file name must be
followed by the character, '&'. White space is allowed between a
component-file name and the character, '&'. The last component-
file name in the list of components should not be followed by the
character, '&'.

CMAKE ignores all lines in the response file that occur after the
line that contains the last component-file name.

Example: A Library of Objects

command: lib @test.lrf

where "test.lrf" is a LIB response file with the following lines:

test.lib /I
y
-+test1.obj &
-+test2.obj ;

Example: A Library of Libraries

command: lib @test.lrf

where "test.lrf" is a LIB response file with the following lines:

test.lib /I
y
+test1.lib &
+test2.lib ;

Modified Command Line for LIB

If a LIB command is required, CMAKE will add the LIB command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat".

If the library consists of a set of objects, CMAKE will create a
new LIB response file that contains only those object files that
are newer than the library. The new LIB response file will have
the same name as the original, except that the extension, '.clb',
will be used in place of the original response-file extension.

If the library consists of a set of component libraries,
and the library (into which the components are to be placed)
exists, CMAKE will insert the following command into the batch
file, "makefile.bat", before the LIB command:

erase library_file

Note that in this case, since the library is a conglomerate of
component libraries that are added (+) together, the library must
be erased, and rebuilt from scratch.

Error Handling with LIB

If a LIB command is required, CMAKE will insert the following
command into the batch file, "makefile.bat", after the LIB
command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if the LIB command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), "makefile.bat" will terminate.

Some Restrictions on LIB

Response-File Name

If the response file consists of a list of objects, the extension
of the LIB response-file name may not be '.clb'

Cross-Reference-Listing File and Output Library

If a cross-reference-listing file and output library file are
specified in the LIB response file, they will not be included in
the new response file that CMAKE creates in the case where the
response file consists of a list of objects.

Output from CMAKE for LIB

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given LIB command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:

LIB library_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

OBJ component_object_file > LIB library_file

This indicates that is newer than
.

LIB component_library_file > LIB library_file

This indicates that is newer than
.

Examples

lib 36 LIB test.lib Does Not Exist
lib 36 OBJ test1.obj > LIB test.lib
lib 36 LIB test1.lib > LIB test.lib

Verbose Output from CMAKE for LIB

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given LIB command is required.

The next two examples illustrate the verbose output generated for
cases where the LIB response file consists of a set of objects.
For these examples, the LIB response file, "test.lrf", consists of
the following lines:

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of LINK

LINK is a program that is distributed with the Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler and the Microsoft Macro Assembler. It is used
to build executable files and dynamic-link libraries.

When is a LINK Command Required?

A given LINK command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. The executable file does not exist.
2. A component-object file is newer than the executable file.
3. A component-library file is newer than the executable file.
4. The module-definition file is newer than the executable file.

These conditions are checked in order. If any condition is found
to be true, the remaining conditions are not checked.

The LINK Command Line

Examples: Linking Objects
Linking with Libraries
Using a Module-Definition File

Command Line

The executable-file name, component-object files, component-
library files, module-definition file, and options must be
specified in a LINK response file. The first non-white-space
character that follows the LINK command name must be '@'. This
character must be followed by a response-file name. White space
is allowed between the character, '@', and the response-file name.
The response-file name may be followed by white space or a
semicolon. If the path of the response file is not specified, it
is assumed that the response file is located in the current
directory.

Response File

Each line of the response file may contain only one file name.
White space may precede the file name given on any line.

The first section of the response file must consist of a list of
object files. No default extension is assumed for the object
files. If the path of an object is not specified, it is assumed
that the object is located in the current directory. Except for
the last object in the list, each object-file name must be
followed by the character, '+'. White space is allowed between an
object-file name and the character, '+'. The last object-file
name in the list of objects must not be followed by the character,
'+'.

The line that follows the last object must begin with the name of
the executable file. LINK options may be placed on this line,
after the executable-file name. White space must be used to
separate the executable-file name and the first option. If a map
file is not desired, there are no component libraries, and there
is no module-definition file, a semicolon must be placed at the
end of the line that contains the executable-file name.

If a semicolon has not been used at the end of the executable-file
line, the line that follows the executable name must contain the
map-file name. If there are no component libraries and there is
no module-definition file, a semicolon must be placed at the end
of the line that contains the map-file name. If a map file is not
desired, and there are component libraries or there is a module-
definition file, either use NUL for the map-file name or leave the
map-file line blank.

If there are component libraries, they must be listed after the
line that contains the map-file name. No default extension is
assumed for library files. If the path of a library is not
specified, it is assumed that the library is located in the
current directory. (CMAKE does not use the LIB environment
variable to search for libraries.) Except for the last library in
the list, each library-file name must be followed by the
character, '+'. White space is allowed between the library-file
name and the character, '+'. The last library-file name in the
list of must not be followed by the character, '+'. If there is
no module-definition file, a semicolon must be placed at the end
of the line that contains the last library-file name.

If there is a module-definition file, the line that follows the
last library must contain the module-definition-file name. A
semicolon may be placed at the end of the module-definition-file
line. However, the semicolon is not required in this case.

CMAKE ignores all lines in the response file that occur after the
line that contains the semicolon or the line that contains the
module-definition-file name, whichever comes first.

Example: Linking Objects

command: link @test.lnk

where "test.lnk" is a LINK response file with the following lines:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192 ;

or, if a map file is desired:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192
test.map ;

Example: Linking with Libraries

command: link @test.lnk

where "test.lnk" is a LINK response file with the following lines:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192
NUL
test1.lib +
test2.lib ;

or, if a map file is desired:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192
test.map
test1.lib +
test2.lib ;

Example: Using a Module-Definition File

command: link @test.lnk

where "test.lnk" is a LINK response file with the following lines:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192
NUL
test1.lib +
test2.lib
test.def ;

or, if a map file is desired:

test1.obj +
test2.obj +
test3.obj
test.exe /stack:8192
test.map
test1.lib +
test2.lib
test.def ;

Error Handling with LINK

If a LINK command is required, CMAKE will add the LINK command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert
the following commands after the LINK command:

if errorlevel 1 goto n_link_failed
goto n_link_ok
if exist executable_file erase executable_file
goto failed

This will ensure that if the LINK command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), the faulty executable that LINK may have created
will be erased, and "makefile.bat" will terminate. (Actually, in
place of the prefix, 'n_', used in the batch file labels given
above, CMAKE will use a numeric prefix (e.g. 2_link_failed) that
is ensured to be unique across all required LINK commands.)

Output from CMAKE for LINK

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given LINK command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:

EXE executable_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

OBJ object_file > EXE executable_file

This indicates that is newer than .

LIB library_file > EXE executable_file

This indicates that is newer than
.

DEF module_definition_file > EXE executable_file

This indicates that is newer than
.

Examples

link 38 EXE test.exe Does Not Exist
link 38 OBJ test.obj > EXE test.exe
link 38 LIB test.lib > EXE test.exe
link 38 DEF test.def > EXE test.exe

Verbose Output from CMAKE for LINK

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given LINK command is required.

For both of the examples given below, the LINK response file,
"test.lnk", is as follows:

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of MASM

MASM is a program that is distributed with the Microsoft Macro
Assembler. In Macro Assembler versions prior to 6.00, MASM is the
assembler itself. In version 6.00 of the Macro Assemble, MASM
provides a command-line interface to the assembler program,
ML.EXE.

When is a MASM Command Required?

A given MASM command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. The object file does not exist.
2. The source file is newer than the object file.
3. There is an include file that is newer than the object file.

These conditions are checked in order. If any condition is found
to be true, the remaining conditions are not checked.

The MASM Command Line

Source-File Name

The source-file name must be placed before the first comma on the
command line. Only white space may be present between the source-
file name and the comma that follows it. No default extension is
assumed for the source file. If a path is not specified, it is
assumed that the source file is located in the current directory.

Object-File Name

The object-file name must be specified. It must be placed after
the first comma on the command line. Only white space may be
present between the object-file name and the comma that precedes
it. No default extension is assumed for the object file. If a
path is not specified, it is assumed that the object file is
located in the current directory. The object-file name may be
followed by a comma, semicolon, or white space.

Options

Options may not be placed between the source-file name and the
first comma or between the first comma and the object-file name.

Examples

command: masm /W2 /V /Z test.asm,test.obj;
source file: current_directory\test.asm
object file: current_directory\test.obj

command: masm /W2 /V /Z ..\asm\test.asm,..\obj\test.obj;
source file: ..\asm\test.asm
object file: ..\obj\test.obj

How CMAKE Processes an Assembly-Language-Source File

When the object file of a MASM command exists, and it is newer
than the source file, CMAKE will process the assembly-language-
source file in order to determine whether or not there is an
include file that is newer than the object file. CMAKE will
extract include-file names from the include statements that are
given in the assembly-language-source file.

Sensitivity to Include Statements

The "sensitivity to include statements" may be thought of as a
Boolean state variable for CMAKE. If the sensitivity to include
statements is "on" and CMAKE encounters an include statement,
CMAKE will check to see if the include file associated with the
include statement is newer than the object file. Otherwise, if
the sensitivity to include statements is "off", CMAKE will ignore
the include statement.

By default, the sensitivity to include statements is "on".

The sensitivity to include statements may be altered through the
use of a variety of switches.

For each source file, CMAKE uses the Boolean variable,
asm_include_on, to initialize the sensitivity to include
statements.

Within a given assembly-language-source file, the following
comments may be used to modify the sensitivity to include
statements:

; CMAKE - INCLUDE OFF
; CMAKE - INCLUDE ON

Locating Include Files

If CMAKE does obtain an include-file name from an include
statement, it will attempt to determine the directory in which
the file is located. First, CMAKE will look for the file in the
current directory. If the include file is not found in the
current directory, CMAKE will look for the file in the directory
in which the source file for the given MASM command is located.
If the include file is not found in the source-file's directory,
CMAKE will search the directories specified by the INCLUDE
environment variable (if it is defined), one by one, from left to
right.

To prevent CMAKE from searching for include files in the current
directory, use the following statement in the configuration file:

search_current_dir_for_includes = no

To prevent CMAKE from searching for include files in the source-
file's directory, use the following statement in the configuration
file:

search_source_dir_for_includes = no

Scanning Include Files for Include Statements

By default, CMAKE does not scan include files for include
statements. To force CMAKE to scan include files for include
statements, place the following statement in your configuration
file:

scan_include_files_for_includes = yes

Alternatively, you may place the following commands anywhere
within your make file (except within the body of an if statement)
to achieve a "local" effect:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

When a REM statement of this type is used, all of the MASM
commands that follow the statement will be affected.

The End-of-Includes Comment

If CMAKE encounters the comment:

; CMAKE - INCLUDE END

while scanning an assembly-language-source file, it will stop
processing the file, i.e. CMAKE will not read any lines in the
source file that occur after this comment.

Although it is not required, you should place this comment after
the last include statement in any assembly-language-source file
that will be scanned by CMAKE. If you do this, you will reduce
the amount of time that CMAKE takes to execute.

The Procedure Used to Examine an Assembly-Language-Source File

For a given MASM command, CMAKE uses the following process to
scan the assembly-language-source file in order to determine
whether or not there is an include file that is newer than the
object file:

A. Initialize the sensitivity to include statements.

B. Read a line from the source file.

C. If we are at the end of the source file

Goto step G - there are no include files in this source file
that are newer than the object file.

D. Skip leading white space on the line.

E. If the line begins with the comment
; CMAKE - INCLUDE ON

Enable the sensitivity to include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
; CMAKE - INCLUDE OFF

Disable the sensitivity to include statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
; CMAKE - INCLUDE END

Go to step G - there are no include files in this
source file that are newer than the object file.

Else if the line begins with the token, 'include' (or
'INCLUDE'), and the sensitivity to include statements
is on

1. Skip white space following the 'include' token.

2. Copy the include-file name.

3. If the configuration data specifies that we must
search for include files in the current directory

Search for the include file in the current
directory (the full include-file name is obtained
by prefixing the current directory to the
include-file name derived from the source file).

4. If the include file has not yet been found and
the configuration data specifies that we must search
for include files in the source-file directory

Search for the include file in the source-file
directory (the full include-file name is obtained
by prefixing the source-file path to the include-
file name derived from the source file).

5. If the include file has not yet been found

Search for the include file in the paths given by
the INCLUDE environment variable.

6. If the include file is newer than the object file

Go to step G - there is an include file that
is newer than the object file.

Else if the configuration data specifies that we
must scan include files for include statements

Save the include-file name

F. Go to step B

G. If we must scan include files for include statements and an
include file that is newer than the object file has not yet
been found

For each saved include file, repeat the process given above
(beginning with step A) with the include file playing the
role of the source file. Continue until all saved include
files have been examined or an include file that is newer
than the object file is found.

Switches for MASM

The following switches may be used to affect the way in which
CMAKE processes a MASM command:

; CMAKE - INCLUDE END

Assembly-language-comment statement in source or include files.
Used to indicate that there are no include statements after the
comment.

scan_include_files_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should scan include files for include
statements. (Default: no).

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

Make file commands. Used to indicate whether or not CMAKE should
scan include files for include statements. These commands take
precedence over the Boolean variable,
scan_include_files_for_includes, which may be set in the
configuration file.

search_source_dir_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should look for include files in the source-
file's directory before using the INCLUDE environment variable.
(Default: yes).

search_current_dir_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should look for include files in the current
directory before using the INCLUDE environment variable.
(Default: yes).

asm_include_on

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to control
the initial sensitivity for each source file to include
statements. (Default: yes)

; CMAKE - INCLUDE OFF
; CMAKE - INCLUDE ON

Assembly-language-comment statements in source or include files.
Used to modify the sensitivity to include statements. The effect
of this switch is local. It only affects the processing of the
source file in which it is are contained. This switch takes
precedence over the Boolean variable, asm_include_on which may be
set in the configuration file.

Some Restrictions on MASM

Include Statements

The full path of an include file may not be given in an include
statement (i.e. the include-file name must not begin with a drive
or a '\' character). However, relative paths may be used (i.e.
the include-file name may begin with dots (..) or a directory
name).

Error Handling with MASM

If a MASM command is required, CMAKE will add the MASM command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert
the following command after the MASM command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if the MASM command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), "makefile.bat" will terminate.

Output from CMAKE for MASM

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given MASM command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:

OBJ object_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC source_file > OBJ

This indicates that is newer than the object file.

INC include_file > OBJ object_file

This indicates that is newer than .

Examples

masm 37 OBJ test.obj Does Not Exist
masm 37 SRC test.asm > OBJ
masm 37 INC test.h > OBJ test.obj

Verbose Output from CMAKE for MASM

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given MASM command is required.

RC

Description

Operations

RC/C - Compile a Resource-Script File

RC/A - Add a Resource File to an Executable File

RC/W - Add the Windows Version Stamp to a File


RC/CA - Compile and Add a Resource File to an Executable File

Description of RC

RC is a program that is distributed with the Microsoft Windows
Software Development Kit. It is known as the "Resource Compiler".

RC Operations

The Resource Compiler may be used to perform any of the following
four operations:

Compile a Resource-Script File

Compile a resource-script file to create a resource file. We
use the symbol, "RC/C", to represent an RC command that is used
for this purpose. (The suffix, '/C', stands for "Compile".)

Add a Resource File to an Executable File

Add a resource file to an executable file. We use the symbol,
"RC/A", to represent an RC command that is used for this purpose.
(The suffix, '/A', stands for "Add".)

Add the Windows Version Stamp to a File

Add the Windows version stamp to a file generated by the linker.
We use the symbol, "RC/W", to represent an RC command that is used
for this purpose. (The suffix, '/W', stands for "Windows".)

Compile and Add a Resource File to an Executable File

Compile a resource-script file to create a resource file, and add
the resulting resource file to an executable file. We use the
symbol, "RC/CA", to represent an RC command that is used for this
purpose. (The suffix, '/CA', stands for "Compile and Add".)

CMAKE supports the first three of these four operations.

Description of RC/C

We use the symbol, "RC/C", to represent an RC command that is used
to compile a resource-script file in order to create a resource
file. The suffix, '/C', stands for "Compile".

The RC/C Command Line

Resource-Script-File Name

The resource-script-file name must be the last command-line
parameter. No default extension is assumed for the resource-
script file. If the path of the resource-script file is not
specified, it is assumed that the file is located in the current
directory.

If your editor has the capability to allow you to review compiler
error message, and you use this feature, you should use the path
separator, '/' (or '\\') (in place of the usual, '\'), in the
resource-script-file name. If this is not done, RC will drop the
path separators from the resource-script-file name that it
provides in error messages that pertain to that file. The end
result will be that your editor will be unable to open the
resource-script file when an error occurs in that file. CMAKE
supports the use of, '/' and '\\', in place of the usual, '\', in
this case. However, the path separator, '\', should be used in
all other paths that are specified in the make file. (The problem
described above is present in the "Microsoft Windows Resource
Compiler Version 3.00 (dated 6/1/90)". More recent versions of
the Resource Compiler may or may not have this problem.)

Resource-File Name

The /fo option may be used to specify the name of the resource
file. If this option is used, the resource-file-name extension
must be specified; and the path of the resource file must be
specified, if the file is not located in the current directory.

If the /fo option is not used, the resource-file name is derived
from the resource-script-file name by replacing the resource-
script-file-name extension with '.res'.

Options

Options may appear anywhere between the RC command name and the
resource-script-file name. The /r option (compile) must be used.
The /r option may not be combined with another single letter
option. The options, /r and /fo, are not case sensitive, and '-'
may be used in place of '/'.

Examples

command: rc /v /r test.rc
resource-script file: current_directory\test.rc
resource file: current_directory\test.res

command: rc /r /fo..\res\test.res ..\\rc\\test.rc
resource-script file: ..\rc\test.rc
resource file: ..\res\test.res

When is an RC/C Command Required?

A given RC/C command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. The resource file does not exist.
2. The resource-script file is newer than the resource file.
3. There is an include file or included resource (e.g. an icon,
bitmap, cursor, font, or user-defined resource) that is newer
than the resource file.

How CMAKE Processes a Resource-Script File

When the resource file of an RC/C command exists, and it is newer
than the resource-script file, CMAKE will process the resource-
script file in order to determine whether or not there is an
include file or an included resource (e.g. an icon, bitmap,
cursor, font, or user-defined resource) that is newer than the
resource file. CMAKE will extract include-file names from
the include statements and resource-include statements that are
given in the resource-script file.

CMAKE recognizes two forms of the include statement: local and
system. CMAKE also recognizes resource-include statements.

Local-Include Statements

The term "local-include statement" is used to refer to an include
statement that has the form:

#include "filename"

and the file associated with such an include statement is said to
be a "local-include file".

System-Include Statements

The term "system-include statement" is used to refer to an include
statement that has the form:

#include

and the file associated with such an include statement is said to
be a "system-include file".

Resource-Include Statements

The term "resource-include statement" is used to refer to a
statement that has the form:

resource_name_id resource_type_id [options] filename

and the file associated with such a statement is said to be a
"resource-include file" or an "included resource". (Note that
the documentation for the Microsoft Windows Software Development
Kit refers to these statements as "single-line" statements.) Some
examples of resource-include statements are:

myicon ICON myicon.ico
mybitmap BITMAP mybmap.bmp
myfont FONT myfont.fnt
mycursor CURSOR mycur.cur
10 400 mytext.txt

Sensitivity to Local-, System-, and Resource-Include Statements

The "sensitivity to local-include statements", the "sensitivity to
system-include statements", and the "sensitivity to resource-
include statements" may be thought of as Boolean state variables
for CMAKE.

If the sensitivity to local-include statements is "on", and CMAKE
encounters a local-include statement, CMAKE will check to see if
the include file associated with the include statement is newer
than the object file. Otherwise, if the sensitivity to local-
include statements is "off", CMAKE will ignore the local-include
statement. Similar statements may be made to describe the role of
the sensitivity to "system-" include statements and the
sensitivity to "resource-" include statements.

By default, the sensitivity to local-include statements is "on",
the sensitivity to system-include statements is "off", and the
sensitivity to resource-include statements is "on".

The sensitivity to local-, system-, and resource-include
statements may be altered through the use of a variety of
switches.

For each source file, CMAKE uses the Boolean variables,
rc_include_""_on, rc_include_<>_on, and rc_include_resource_on to
initialize the sensitivity to local-, system-, and resource-
include statements, respectively.

Within a given resource-script file, any of the following C-style
comments may be used to modify the sensitivity to local-, system-,
or resource-include statements:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE ON */

Locating Include Files

If CMAKE does obtain an include-file name from an include
statement, it will attempt to determine the directory in which
the file is located. If the file is a local-include file or a
resource-include file, CMAKE will look for the file in the current
directory. If the include file is not found in the current
directory, CMAKE will search the directories specified by the
INCLUDE environment variable (if it is defined), one by one, from
left to right. On the other hand, if the file is a system-include
file, CMAKE will only look for the file in the directories given
by the INCLUDE environment variable.

To prevent CMAKE from searching for local-include files and
resource-include files in the current directory, use the following
statement in the configuration file:

search_current_dir_for_includes = no

Scanning Include Files for Include Statements

By default, CMAKE does not scan include files for include
statements. To force CMAKE to scan local-include files and
system-include files for include statements, place the following
statement in your configuration file:

scan_include_files_for_includes = yes

Alternatively, you may place the following commands anywhere
within your make file (except within the body of an if statement)
to achieve a "local" effect:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

When a REM statement of this type is used, all of the RC/C
commands that follow the statement will be affected.

The End-of-Includes Comment

If CMAKE encounters the comment:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

while scanning a resource-script file, it will stop processing the
file, i.e. CMAKE will not read any lines in the file, that occur
after this comment. To learn how this switch may be used to
affect the way in which CMAKE processes the resource-script file,

See: Helpful Hints for RC/C

The Procedure Used to Examine a Resource-Script File

For a given RC/C command, CMAKE uses the following process to
scan the resource-script file in order to determine whether or not
there is an include file that is newer than the resource file:

A. Initialize the sensitivity to local-include statements,
system-include statements, and resource-include statements.

B. Read a line from the resource-script file.

C. If we are at the end of the resource-script file

Goto step G - there are no include files or included
resources in this resource-script file that are newer than
the resource file.

D. Skip leading white space on the line.

E. If the line begins with the character, '/'

If the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */

Enable the sensitivity to local-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */

Disable the sensitivity to local-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

Enable the sensitivity to system-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */

Disable the sensitivity to system-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE ON */

Enable the sensitivity to resource-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE OFF */

Disable the sensitivity to resource-include
statements.

Else if the line begins with the comment
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

Go to step G - there are no include files or
included resources in this resource-script file
that are newer than the resource file.

Else if the line begins with the character, '#'

1. Skip white space following the '#' character.

2. If the next token is 'include'

a. Skip white space following the 'include'
token.

b. If (the next character is '"' and the
sensitivity to local includes is on) or (the
next character is '<' and the sensitivity to
system includes is on)

i. Copy the include-file name.

ii. If the include file is local and the
configuration data specifies that we
must search for include files in the
current directory

Search for the include file in the
current directory (the full
include-file name is obtained by
prefixing the current directory to
the include-file name derived from
the resource-script file).

iii. If the include file has not yet been
found

Search for the include file in the
paths given by the INCLUDE
environment variable.

iv. If the include file is newer than the
resource file

Go to step G - there is an
include file that is newer
than the resource-script file.

Else if the configuration data
specifies that we must scan include
files for include statements

Save the include-file name.

Else if the sensitivity to resource includes is on

1. Skip to the end of the line or to the first '
occurrence of, '//' or '/*', whichever comes first.

2. Copy the file name of the included resource from the
previous token (convert any occurrences of, '\\' and
'/', in the file name, to '\').

3. If the configuration data specifies that we must
search for include files in the current directory

Search for the included resource in the current
directory (the full file name for the included
resource is obtained by prefixing the current
directory to the resource-include-file name
derived from the resource-script file).

4. If the included resource has not yet been found

Search for the included resource in the paths
given by the INCLUDE environment variable.

5. If the included resource is newer than the
resource file

Go to step G - there is an included resource that
is newer than the resource file.

F. Go to step B

G. If we must scan include files for include statements and an
include file or included resource that is newer than the
resource file has not yet been found

For each saved (local- or system-) include file, repeat the
process given above (beginning with step A) with the include
file playing the role of the resource-script file. Continue
until all saved include files have been examined, or an
include file is found that is newer than the resource file.

Switches for RC/C

The following switches may be used to affect the way in which
CMAKE processes an RC/C command:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

C-style comment statement in resource-script file or (local- or
system-) include files. Used to indicate that there are no
local-, system-, or resource-include statements after the comment.

scan_include_files_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should scan include files for include
statements. (Default: no).

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

Make file commands. Used to indicate whether or not CMAKE should
scan include files for include statements. These commands take
precedence over the Boolean variable,
scan_include_files_for_includes, which may be set in the
configuration file.

search_current_dir_for_includes

Boolean variable set in the configuration file. Used to indicate
whether or not CMAKE should look for local- and resource-include
files in the current directory, before using the INCLUDE
environment variable.
(Default: yes).

rc_include_""_on
rc_include_<>_on
rc_include_resource_on

Boolean variables set in the configuration file. Used to control
the initial sensitivity for each resource-script file to local-,
system-, and resource-include statements. rc_include_""_on
(Default: yes). rc_include_<>_on (Default: no).
rc_include_resource_on (Default: yes).

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE ON */

C-style comment statements in resource-script file or (local- or
system-) include files. Used to modify the sensitivity to local-,
system-, and resource-include statements. The effect of these
switches is local. They only affect the processing of the file
in which they are contained. These switches take precedence over
the Boolean variables, rc_include_""_on, rc_include_<>_on, and
rc_include_resource_on, which may be set in the configuration
file.

Some Restrictions on RC/C

Preprocessor Directives

#include is the only preprocessor directive that CMAKE recognizes.
One of the implications of this is that CMAKE will not ignore
conditionally compiled include statements based upon whether or
not a particular identifier has been defined (either with a
#define statement or through the use of the /D RC command-line
option). For example, in the following section of source code, if
the sensitivity to local-include statements is on, CMAKE will not
skip the include statement - regardless of whether or not the
identifier, INCLUDE_TEST_H, has been defined:

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
#include "test.h"
#endif

Any of the following approaches could be taken to instruct CMAKE
to ignore this include statement:

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
#include "test.h"
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */
#endif

or

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
// #include "test.h"
#endif

or

#ifdef INCLUDE_TEST_H
/* #include "test.h" */
#endif

Include-File Names

The full path of a local-, system-, or resource-include file may
not be given in an include statement (i.e. the include-file name
must not begin with a drive or a '\' character). However,
relative paths may be used (i.e. the include-file name may begin
with dots (..) or a directory name).

Note that if a path is used in the file name of an included
resource, '/' or '\\' must be used in place of the usual path
separator, '\'. For example, you would use

myicon ICON "..\\ico\\myicon.ico"

or

myicon ICON "../ico/myicon.ico"

in place of

myicon ICON "..\ico\myicon.ico"

This restriction is imposed by the Resource Compiler, itself.
(The behavior described above was observed in the "Microsoft
Windows Resource Compiler Version 3.00 (dated 6/1/90)". More
recent versions of the Resource Compiler may or may not behave
this way.)

Error Handling with RC/C

If an RC/C command is required, CMAKE will add the RC/C command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert
the following command after the RC/C command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if the RC/C command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), "makefile.bat" will terminate.

Output from CMAKE for RC/C

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given RC/C command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, one of the following messages will appear:

RES resource_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC resource_script_file > RES

This indicates that is newer than the
resource file.

INC include_file > RES resource_file

This indicates that is newer than .

Examples

rc 35 RES test.res Does Not Exist
rc 35 SRC test.rc > RES
rc 35 INC test.h > RES test.res
rc 35 INC test.ico > RES test.res

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given RC/C command is required.

Helpful Hints for RC/C

Controlling Resource-Script File Processing

When the sensitivity to resource-include statements is "on", CMAKE
assumes that each line that it reads from the resource-script
file, that does not begin with, '/' or '#' (and is not blank), is
a resource-include statement.

But generally, not every line in a resource-script file, that does
not begin with, '#' or '/', will be a resource-include statement
(there will usually be some multiple-line statements such as MENU
or DIALOG statements present in the resource-script file as well).

To prevent CMAKE from misinterpreting a line in the resource-
script file as a resource-include statement, you could place all
of your include statements at the top of the resource-script file,
and place the following comment in your script file after the
section that contains the include statements:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

More specifically, you could take the following approach:

1. If a heading (consisting of comments) is desired in the
resource-script file, begin each comment line with, '//'
or '/*'.
2. Place all #include statements and statements that include
resources (such as icons, bitmaps, cursors, fonts, and user-
defined resources) after any comments placed at the top of
the resource-script file.
3. Place the comment, "/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */", after the
section of the resource-script file that contains the #include
statements and statements that are used to include resources.

When the sensitivity to resource-include statements is "off",
CMAKE ignores all lines in the resource-script file that do not
begin with, "#include" or "/* CMAKE -". Thus, CMAKE will not
misinterpret any lines in the resource-script file as resource-
include statements, when the sensitivity to resource-include
statements is "off". To take advantage of this fact, you could
use the following switches in your resource-script file:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE ON */

These switches may be used to turn the sensitivity to resource-
include statements, "off" and "on", respectively.

Error Handling

Output from CMAKE

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of RC/A

We use the symbol, "RC/A", to represent an RC command that is used
to add a resource file to an executable file. The suffix, '/A',
stands for "Add".

The RC/A Command Line

Resource-File Name

The resource-file name must be the last or second-to-last command
-line parameter. The resource-file name must have the extension,
'.res'. If the path of the resource file is not specified, it is
assumed that the resource file is located in the current
directory.

Executable-File Name

If the resource-file name is the last command-line parameter,
the executable-file name is derived from the resource-file name
by replacing the file extension, '.res', with '.exe'.

If the resource-file name is the second to last command-line
parameter, the executable-file name must be the last command-line
parameter. In this case, no default extension will be assumed for
the executable file. If the path of the executable file is not
specified, it will be assumed that the executable file is located
in the current directory.

CMAKE does not recognize the /fe option which may be used to
rename the executable file.

Examples

command: rc /v test.res
resource file: current_directory\test.res
executable file: current_directory\test.exe

command: rc /v ..\res\test.res ..\exe\test.exe
resource file: ..\res\test.res
executable file: ..\exe\test.exe

When is an RC/A Command Required?

A given RC/A command will be required if any of the following
conditions is true:

1. A previous make-file command for which the executable file is a
target (e.g. LINK), is required.
2. A previous make-file command for which the resource file is a
target (e.g. RC/C), is required.

These conditions are checked in order. If any condition is found
to be true, the remaining conditions are not checked.

Error Handling with RC/A

If an RC/A command is required, CMAKE will add the RC/A command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert
the following commands after the RC/A command:

if errorlevel 1 goto n_rc_failed
goto n_rc_ok
if exist executable_file erase executable_file
goto failed

This will ensure that if the RC/A command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), the faulty executable file will be erased, and
"makefile.bat" will terminate. (Actually, in place of the prefix,
'n_', used in the batch file labels given above, CMAKE will use a
numeric prefix (e.g. 2_rc_failed) that is ensured to be unique
across all required RC commands.)

Output from CMAKE for RC/A

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing
of a given RC/A command unless the command is required. If the
command is required, one of the following messages will appear:

EXE executable_file Has Been Updated

This indicates that a previous make-file command for which
is a target file (e.g. LINK), is required.

RES resource_file Has Been Updated

This indicates that a previous make-file command for which
is a target file (e.g. RC/C), is required.

to add the Windows version stamp to a file. The suffix, '/W',
stands for "Windows".

The RC/W Command Line

We refer the file to which we would like to add the Windows
version stamp, as the "target file".

Target-File Name

The target-file name must be the last command-line parameter. If
there are two or more command-line parameters, the second to last
command-line parameter must be an option. No default extension is
assumed for the target file. The target file may not have the
extension, '.res'. If the path of the target file is not
specified, it is assumed that the target file is located in the
current directory.

Examples

command: rc /v test.exe
target file: current_directory\test.exe

command: rc /v ..\dll\test.dll
target file: ..\dll\test.dll

command: rc /v ..\drv\test.drv
target file: ..\drv\test.drv

When is an RC/W Command Required?

A given RC/W command will be required if the target file of the
RC/W command is also the target of a previous make-file command
that is required.

Error Handling with RC/W

If an RC/W command is required, CMAKE will add the RC/W command to
the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert
the following commands after the RC/W command:

if errorlevel 1 goto n_rc_failed
goto n_rc_ok
if exist target_file_name erase target_file_name
goto failed

This will ensure that if the RC/W command fails (i.e. returns a
nonzero value), the faulty target file of RC/W will be erased, and
"makefile.bat" will terminate. (Actually, in place of the prefix,
'n_', used in the batch file labels given above, CMAKE will use a
numeric prefix (e.g. 2_rc_failed) that is ensured to be unique
across all required RC commands.)

Output from CMAKE for RC/W

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given RC/W command unless the command is required. If the command
is required, the following message will appear:

TRG target_file Has Been Updated

This indicates that a previous make-file command for which
is a target file (e.g. LINK), is required.

Examples

rc 39 TRG test.dll Has Been Updated

Verbose Output from CMAKE for RC/W

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists all of the
time stamp comparisons that it makes in route to determining if a
given RC/W command is required.

RC/CA

CMAKE does not support this operation.

REM

Description

REM is an MS-DOS command. It is used to add comments to DOS batch
programs.

When is a REM Command Required?

REM commands are never required.

The REM Command Line

CMAKE imposes no restrictions on the REM command.

Switches

The following two REM commands have a special meaning to CMAKE:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

These commands may be used to indicate whether or not CMAKE should
scan C, assembly-language, and resource-script include files for
include statements. These switches remain in effect until the end
of the make file or until another such REM switch is encountered.
These commands take precedence over the Boolean variable,
scan_include_files_for_includes, which may be set in the
configuration file.

Output from CMAKE

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of REM
commands.

Verbose Output from CMAKE

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE will list each
REM command and indicate that the command is not required.

For example, if the command, "rem TEST.EXE", is used in the make
file, CMAKE will generate the following output:

rem TEST.EXE

Command: rem
Parameters: TEST.EXE
Command Type: intrinsic (comment)

* not required *

SET

Description

SET is an internal MS-DOS command. It is used to display, set, or
remove MS-DOS environment variables.

When is a SET Command Required?

SET commands are always required.

The SET Command Line

CMAKE supports the following two forms of the SET command:

set
set environment_variable_name=environment_variable_value

Error Handling

Ordinarily, CMAKE will insert the following command into the batch
file, "makefile.bat", after a command that is required:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

However, this is not done for the SET command because the SET
command does not return a nonzero value when it fails.

Output from CMAKE

Normally, CMAKE provides the following information for every SET
command:

always required

For example, if there is a SET command on line 10 of the make
file, CMAKE will generate the following output:

set 10 always required

Verbose Output from CMAKE

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE will list each
SET command and indicate that the command is required.

For example, if the command, "set include=..\h;c:\c\include",
is used in the make file, CMAKE will generate the following
output:

set include=..\h;c:\c\include

Command: set
Parameters: include=..\h;c:\c\include
Command Type: intrinsic
Command ID: 5

Environment Variable Name: INCLUDE
Environment Variable Value: ..\h;c:\c\include

Output from CMAKE

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of User-Defined Commands

User-defined commands are commands that the user has added to
CMAKE's vocabulary through the use of command-definition
statements in the configuration file. A command-definition
statement instructs CMAKE on how to determine if a given user-
defined command is required.

See: Command-Definition Statements

When is a User-Defined Command Required?

A given user-defined command will be required if one of the
following conditions is true:

1. At least one target file does not exist.
2. There is a source file that is newer than some target file.

The Command Line for a User-Defined Command

White space must follow all source and target-file names.

How CMAKE Processes the Command Line of a User-Defined Command

The source and target files for a given user-defined command are
extracted from the command line by using the command-definition
configuration statement for the user-defined command. In a way,
the command-definition statement serves as a "prototype" for the
user-defined command (similar to the way in which a function
declaration can serve as a "prototype" for a given C language
function). The command-definition statement provides a list of
stationary parameters and a list of floating parameters.
Usually, each stationary and floating parameter is used to specify
the format for a particular source or target file will be given on
the command line for the user-defined command. Each stationary
and floating parameter will be of the form

parameter_prefix%file_type_code

where file_type_code indicates whether the file is a source file
or target file (note that the file may also be specified as
neutral), and parameter_prefix is the prefix that will precede the
file name on the command line (note that the parameter prefix may
be null).

For each command-line parameter, CMAKE scans the list of floating
parameters (from left to right) until a floating parameter is
found that has a prefix that matches the beginning of the current
command-line parameter. If a matching floating parameter is not
found, the prefix of the current stationary parameter is compared
with the beginning of the current command-line parameter. (The
current stationary parameter is the first stationary parameter in
the list of stationary parameters that has not yet been used to
obtain a file name from the command line.) (CMAKE considers a
null prefix to be a match for anything.)

If a matching floating or stationary parameter is not found, the
command-line parameter is skipped. Otherwise, the file type
(source, target, or neutral) is obtained from the file type code
('s', 't', or 'n') at the end of the matching stationary or
floating parameter. If the file is a neutral file, the command-
line parameter is skipped. If the file is a source or target
file, CMAKE obtains the time stamp for the file. (Actually, if it
has already been established that the user-defined command is
required (i.e. there is a target file that does not exist, or
there is a source file that is newer that some target file), CMAKE
will not obtain the time stamp of the file.)

The process described above is carried out for each command-line
parameter, until either

1. all command-line parameters have been examined, or
2. the list of floating parameters is empty and all stationary
parameters have been used to obtain a file name from the
command line.

Predefined Pseudofiles for User-Defined Commands

"start.psf"

The file name, "start.psf", may be used as a source or target file
within any user-defined command. You may think of "start.psf" as
a file that is created just before CMAKE begins processing the
make file. The sole purpose of "start.psf" is to mark this point
in time. (We refer to "start.psf" as a pseudofile because this
file is never actually created.)

Examples

For each example given below, it is assumed that the following
command-definition statement has been provided in the
configuration file:

command_definition : newcmd sp[%s %t]

Using "start.psf" as a Source File

The following command:

newcmd start.psf test.trg

will be required only if there are no required commands that occur
before it for which "test.trg" is a target file.

Using "start.psf" as a Target File

The following command:

newcmd test.src start.psf

will be required only if there is a required command that occurs
before it for which "test.src" is a target file.

Error Handling with User-Defined Commands

If a user-defined command is required, CMAKE will add the user-
defined command to the batch file, "makefile.bat". In addition,
CMAKE will insert the following command after the user-defined
command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if the user-defined command fails (i.e.
returns a nonzero value), "makefile.bat" will terminate.

Output from CMAKE for User-Defined Commands

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given user-defined command unless the command is required. If the
command is required, one of the following messages will appear:

TRG target_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC source_file > TRG target_file

This indicates that is newer than .

Examples

cmd1 21 TRG test.trg Does Not Exist
cmd2 22 SRC test.src > TRG test.trg

Verbose Output from CMAKE for User-Defined Commands

For a user-defined command, if the verbose output format is
selected, CMAKE will list all of the source, target, and neutral
files that are derived from the command line. For each file
listed, CMAKE will indicate which stationary or floating parameter
was used to obtain the file.

For each example given below, it is assumed that the following
command-definition statement has been provided in the
configuration file:

command_definition : newcmd sp[%s %s] fp[/o%t]

Examples: User-Defined Command Not Required

Equivalent Commands

Description

How CMAKE Processes an Equivalent Command

Output from CMAKE

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of Equivalent Commands

Equivalent commands are commands that the user has added to
CMAKE's vocabulary through the use of command-equivalence
statements in the configuration file. A command-equivalence
statement specifies that a given command should be treated exactly
like another given intrinsic or user-defined command.

See: Command-Equivalence Statements

How CMAKE Processes an Equivalent Command

A given command that has been defined to be equivalent to some
intrinsic or user-defined command (referred to here as the
equivalent command) is treated exactly like the equivalent
command. That is to say:

1. The command will be required if and only if the equivalent
command is required.
2. Any restrictions that apply to the equivalent command will also
apply to the given command.
3. Any error handling (e.g. "if errorlevel 1 goto failed") that is
used with the equivalent command, will also be used with the
given command.

Output from CMAKE for Equivalent Commands

Normally, the output for CMAKE for the given command will be
identical to that of the equivalent command, except that the given
command name will appear in place of the equivalent-command name.

Verbose Output from CMAKE for Equivalent Commands

The verbose output format for a given command will be identical to
that of the equivalent command, except that the name and type
(intrinsic or user-defined) of the equivalent command will be
provided.

For each example given below, it is assumed that the following
command-equivalence statement has been provided in the
configuration file:

command_equivalence : spasm = masm

Examples: Equivalent Command Not Required

Unrecognized Commands in the Make File

Description

Unrecognized commands are the commands that are not intrinsic,
user-defined, or equivalent.

When is an Unrecognized Command Required?

Unrecognized commands are always required.

The Command Line for an Unrecognized Command

CMAKE imposes no restrictions on the command line of an
unrecognized command.

Error Handling

Since unrecognized commands are required (unconditionally), CMAKE
will add each unrecognized command to the batch file,
"makefile.bat". CMAKE does not insert any error handling commands
(e.g. "if errorlevel 1 goto failed") after an unrecognized
command. Thus, "makefile.bat" will not terminate when an
unrecognized command fails.

Output from CMAKE

Normally, CMAKE provides the following information for every
unrecognized command:

unrecognized

For example, if an unrecognized command called, "whatcmd", is used
in the make file, CMAKE will provide the following output:

whatcmd 21 unrecognized

Verbose Output from CMAKE

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE will list each
unrecognized command and indicate that the command is required.

For example, if the command, "whatcmd test.src test.trg", is used
in the make file, and "whatcmd" is an unrecognized command, CMAKE
will generate the following output:

whatcmd test.src test.trg

Command: whatcmd
Parameters: test.src test.trg
Command Type: unrecognized

* REQUIRED *

The if Statement

Description

Syntax

When are the Commands in the Body of an if Statement Required?

Predefined Pseudofiles

Error Handling

Output from CMAKE

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Description of the if Statement

The if statement is used in a make file to explicitly specify
source/target file dependencies. It is an extension of the
target/dependent description blocks which are used with most
generic make utilities.

Syntax of the if Statement

An if statement has one of the following general forms:

if ( target_file_1 if ( target_file_1
target_file_2 target_file_2
... ...
target_file_m target_file_m
< source_file_1 < source_file_1
source_file_2 source_file_2
... ...
source_file_n ) source_file_n )

command {
command_1
command_2
...
command_r
}

Within the if statement, white space is ignored (except between
file names, where it is required). The target-file names must be
listed before the source-file names, and the character, '<', must
be used to separate the set of target-file names from the set of
source-file names. Each command within the body of an if
statement must appear on a separate line. The brackets ({}) are
required only in the case where the body of the if statement
consists of more than one command.

Examples

/*****************************************************************
* The brackets, '{' and '}', are optional when the body of an
* if statement consists of only one command:
*****************************************************************/

if ( 1.trg < 1.src 2.src )
echo hello

/*****************************************************************
* The brackets, '{' and '}', are required when the body of an
* if statement consists of more than one command:
*****************************************************************/

if ( 1.trg 2.trg < 1.src 2.src )
{
echo hello
echo world
}

/*****************************************************************
* Since white space is ignored, the lists of source- and target-
* file names may be given in a variety of formats:
*****************************************************************/

if
(
1.trg
2.trg
< 1.src
2.src
)
{
echo hello
echo world
}

/*****************************************************************
* You may not place the closing bracket, '}', at the end of the
* last command in the body of an if statement. The following
* example shows an unacceptable location for the closing bracket:
*****************************************************************/

if ( 1.trg < 1.src )
{
echo hello }

/*****************************************************************
* In this last example, CMAKE would assume that the closing
* bracket, '}', is part of the ECHO command line.
*****************************************************************/

When are the Commands in the Body of an if Statement Required?

The commands within the body of a given if statement will be
required if one of the following conditions is true:

1. At least one target file does not exist.
2. There is a source file that is newer than some target file.

Examples

if ( 1.trg < 1.src 2.src )
{
echo These echo commands will be required if the target file,
echo "1.trg", does not exist, or at least one of the source
echo files, "1.src" and "2.src", is newer than the target
echo file, "1.trg".
}

if ( 1.trg 2.trg < 1.src 2.src )
{
echo These echo commands will be required if any of the
echo following conditions is true:
echo.
echo 1. The target file, "1.trg", does not exist.
echo 2. The target file, "2.trg", does not exist.
echo 3. The source file, "1.src", is newer than "1.trg".
echo 4. The source file, "1.src", is newer than "2.trg".
echo 5. The source file, "2.src", is newer than "1.trg".
echo 6. The source file, "2.src", is newer than "2.trg".
}

Predefined Pseudofiles for the if Statement

"start.psf"

The file name, "start.psf", may be used as a source or target file
within any if statement. You may think of "start.psf" as a file
that is created just before CMAKE begins processing the make file.
The sole purpose of "start.psf" is to mark this point in time.
(We refer to "start.psf" as a pseudofile because this file is
never actually created.)

Examples

Using "start.psf" as a Source File

if ( test.trg
< start.psf )

{
echo These echo commands will be required only if there are no
echo required commands that occur before this if statement for
echo which "test.trg" is a target file.
}

Using "start.psf" as a Target File

if ( start.psf
< test.src )

{
echo These echo commands will be required only if there is a
echo required command that occurs before this if statement for
echo which "test.src" is a target file.
}

Error Handling with the if Statement

If the commands within the body of a given if statement are
required, CMAKE will add all of the commands to the batch file,
"makefile.bat". In addition, CMAKE will insert the following
command after each required command:

if errorlevel 1 goto failed

This will ensure that if any command within the body of the if
statement fails (i.e. returns a nonzero value), "makefile.bat"
will terminate.

Output from CMAKE for the if Statement

Normally, CMAKE provides no information on the processing of a
given if statement unless the commands within the body of the if
statement are required. If the commands are required, each of the
commands within the body of the if statement will be listed with
one of the following messages:

TRG target_file Does Not Exist

This indicates that does not exist.

SRC source_file > TRG target_file

This indicates that is newer than .

Examples

cmd 21 TRG test.trg Does Not Exist
cmd 21 SRC test.src > TRG test.trg

Verbose Output from CMAKE for the if Statement

For each example given below, it is assumed that the following

echo hello
echo good bye

Comments in the Make File

C-style comments (/* */) and C++-style comments (//) may be used
to annotate a make file. A comment is treated as a single white-
space character, but is otherwise ignored.

The comment delimiters, /* and //, are not permitted after the
command name on a command line.

Examples

Suppose that we have a make file that consists of the following
two commands:

cl /c /W4 hello.c
cl /c /W4 world.c

We could "comment out" the command, "cl /c /W4 world.c", by adding
comment delimiters around the command:

cl /c /W4 hello.c
/*cl /c /W4 world.c*/

Another acceptable approach would be:

cl /c /W4 hello.c
/*
cl /c /W4 world.c
*/

We could also use a C++-style comment to obtain the same result:

cl /c /W4 hello.c
// cl /c /W4 world.c

An unacceptable way to "comment out" the command,
"cl /c /W4 world.c", would be:

cl /c /W4 hello.c /*
cl /c /W4 world.c
*/

In this case, CMAKE would assume that the comment delimiter, '/*',
is part of the command, "cl /c /W4 hello.c". In fact, since '/*'
is the last token on the command line, '/*' would be taken to be
the source-file name for the CL command!

Another unacceptable comment would be:

cl /c /W4 hello.c // This is an unacceptable comment
cl /c /W4 world.c

In this case, CMAKE would take the word, "comment", to be the
source-file name of the command, "cl /c /W4 hello.c".

Description of the Configuration File

A configuration file may be used with CMAKE in order to alter
default switch settings, define new commands, and set up command
equivalences. You may execute CMAKE without a configuration file
if you are satisfied with the default settings and do not need to
enlarge CMAKE's command table.

How CMAKE Locates the Configuration File

When CMAKE begins, it attempts to locate and load its
configuration file. CMAKE uses the following process to locate
the configuration file:

1. If the environment variable, CMAKE_CFG, is defined, its value
is used for the configuration-file name.
2. If the environment variable, CMAKE_CFG, is not defined, or the
configuration file given by, CMAKE_CFG, does not exist,
CMAKE looks for the file, "cmake.cfg", in the current
directory.
3. If "cmake.cfg" is not found in the current directory, CMAKE
looks for "cmake.cfg" in the directory in which CMAKE.EXE is
located.
4. If "cmake.cfg" is not found in the directory in which CMAKE.EXE
is located, CMAKE assumes that there is no configuration file,
and as a result, will use default settings for all Boolean
variables.

Note that the environment variable, CMAKE_CFG, should not be
defined with a SET command in the make file because CMAKE loads
the configuration file before it begins processing the make file.

Verbose Output from CMAKE

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE lists the
locations where it attempts to find the configuration file. It
will also indicate whether or not the configuration file has been
found.

Example:

CMAKE_CFG Environment Variable: CMAKE_CFG is undefined
Current Directory: c:\test\cmake.cfg does not exist
CMAKE.EXE Directory: configuration file c:\c\cmake.cfg found

The CMAKE Section Tag in the Configuration File

CMAKE ignores all lines in the configuration until a line is found
that begins with the section tag, [CMAKE]. CMAKE will process all
lines that follow the section tag, until a line is found that
begins with '[' (indicating the beginning of another section in
the configuration file) or the end-of-file is reached.

Because of the use of section tags, the configuration data for
CMAKE may be placed in a file that contains initialization
data for other applications. For example, the configuration data
for CMAKE could be placed in the file, "tools.ini", which is used
with the Microsoft Editor or in the file, "win.ini", which is used
with Microsoft Windows. Bear in mind that if the configuration
data for CMAKE is placed at the end of a long file, CMAKE will
become sluggish.

Configuration-File Statements

The configuration data for CMAKE consists of single-line
statements.

Leading white space is ignored on every line of the configuration
file.

Comments in the Configuration File

CMAKE ignores any line in the configuration file that begins with
the character, ';'.

Assignment Statements in the Configuration File

Syntax

Boolean Variables

Verbose Output from CMAKE

Syntax of Assignment Statements

Assignment statements have the following form:

Boolean_variable_name = value

where 'Boolean_variable_name' is the name of a Boolean variable
and 'value' must be either yes or no. White space is ignored
between the variable name and the value.

Boolean Variables

scan_include_files_for_includes

search_source_dir_for_includes
search_current_dir_for_includes

c_include_""_on
c_include_<>_on

asm_include_on

rc_include_""_on
rc_include_<>_on
rc_include_resource_on

run_output_file

display_output_file_commands
display_execution_time

scan_include_files_for_includes

Indicates whether or not CMAKE should scan include files for
include statements. The following commands, which may be used in
the make file, take precedence over this Boolean variable:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

Default: no

search_source_dir_for_includes

Indicates whether or not CMAKE should look for include files in
the source-file's directory before using the INCLUDE environment
variable.

Default: yes

search_current_dir_for_includes

Indicates whether or not CMAKE should look for include files in
the current directory before using the INCLUDE environment
variable.

Default: yes

c_include_""_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to local-include statements, for
each C-source file. Within a given C-source file, the following
comments may be used to override the value of this Boolean
variable:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */

Default: yes

c_include_<>_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to system-include statements, for
each C-source file. Within a given C-source file, the following
comments may be used to override the value of this Boolean
variable:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

Default: no

asm_include_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to include statements, for each
assembly-language-source file. Within a given assembly-language-
source file, the following comments may be used to override the
value of this Boolean variable:

; CMAKE - INCLUDE OFF
; CMAKE - INCLUDE ON

Default: yes

rc_include_""_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to local-include statements, for
each resource-script file. Within a given resource-script file,
the following comments may be used to override the value of this
Boolean variable:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE "" ON */

Default: yes

rc_include_<>_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to system-include statements, for
each resource-script file. Within a given resource-script file,
the following comments may be used to override the value of this
Boolean variable:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON */

Default: no

rc_include_resource_on

Controls the initial sensitivity to resource-include statements,
for each resource-script file. Within a given resource-script
file, the following comments may be used to override the value of
this Boolean variable:

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE OFF */
/* CMAKE - INCLUDE RESOURCE ON */

Default: yes

run_output_file

Determines whether or not the batch file, "makefile.bat", is to be
executed. The command-line option, /n, takes precedence over this
Boolean variable.

Default: yes

display_output_file_commands

Controls whether or not the commands in the batch file,
"makefile.bat", are displayed as they are executed. Note that the
output from each executed command is always displayed. This
switch only determines whether or not the commands themselves are
also displayed. The value of this variable is irrelevant if the
variable, run_output_file, is 'no'.

Default: no

display_execution_time

Controls whether or not CMAKE reports its execution time. This
time is the number of seconds that it takes CMAKE to create the
batch file, "makefile.bat". It does not include the time required
to execute this batch file. This time is displayed in the both
the concise and verbose CMAKE output formats.

Default: yes

Verbose Output from CMAKE for Assignment Statements

When the verbose output format is selected, CMAKE will list each
assignment statement that it finds in the configuration file.

For example, if the assignment statement,
"search_source_dir_for_includes = no", is used in the
configuration file, CMAKE will generate the following output:

search_source_dir_for_includes = no

Command: search_source_dir_for_includes
Parameters: no
Command Type: assignment
Command ID: 0

Command-Definition Statements

Command-definition statements may be used to expand CMAKE's
command table. Each command-definition statement provides
information on how to determine when a particular command is
required. The command-definition statement tells CMAKE which
files, listed in the command's parameters, are source files (i.e.
files that the command uses), and which files are target files
(i.e. files that the command creates)

Syntax

The general form of the command-definition configuration statement
is:

command_definition : command_name sp[...] fp[...]

White space between 'command_definition' and the command name is
ignored.

The command name is required. Command names may be up to 8
characters long and should not include-file-name extensions such
as '.bat', '.com', or '.exe'. Command names are not case
sensitive. There must be space between the command name and 'sp'
(or between the command name and 'fp', if 'sp' is omitted).

sp[...] and fp[...] are used to specify stationary (sp) and
floating (fp) command parameters, respectively. The stationary
parameters of a command are those that always appear in a certain
position on the command line. Generally, floating parameters are
those parameters that are identified by a certain option prefix
(e.g. -fo), and may appear anywhere on the command line. sp[...]
and fp[...] are both optional and may appear in any order. Each
may be used at most once in a command-definition statement.
The brackets, '[' and ']', are required. A space may not be
placed between 'sp' or 'fp' and the opening bracket, '['. White
space is not required between the closing bracket, ']', and 'sp'
or 'fp' that follows the bracket.

The stationary and floating parameters are specified with a
parameter description string of tokens, where each token must be
of the form:

parameter_prefix%file_type_code

The parameter description string may be up to 20 characters long.
White space placed before the first token and after the last token
of the parameter description string is ignored. Space must be
placed between any two tokens.

The parameter prefix is optional. If a prefix is given, it must
begin with a non-white-space character and cannot contain the
character, '%'. The parameter prefix may contain white space.

The file type delimiter, '%', is required.

The file type codes are single character codes used to indicate
whether a file is a source file, target file, or neutral. The
valid file type codes are

's' (source)
't' (target)
'n' (neutral)

White space may not be placed between the file type delimiter,
'%', and file type code.

The subsection entitled, "User-Defined Commands", under "The Make
File" section of this help file describes exactly how CMAKE uses a
command-definition statement to determine if a given command is
required.

See: User-Defined Commands

Examples

Example 1

Consider the command, IMPLIB. (IMPLIB is a utility that is
distributed with the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler. It is used
to create import libraries.) The syntax of the IMPLIB command is:

IMPLIB import_library module_definition_file

Implib uses the module-definition file to create an import
library.

Without a command-definition statement for IMPLIB, CMAKE will not
recognize the IMPLIB command. In this case, since unrecognized
commands are always required, IMPLIB would always be required.

The following command-definition statement could be used to tell
CMAKE that the IMPLIB command should only be required when the
module-definition file is newer than the import library file.

command_definition : implib sp[%t %s]

This statement tells CMAKE that the IMPLIB command has two
stationary parameters (sp), and that the first stationary
parameter gives the name of the target file that IMPLIB creates
(%t), and the second stationary parameter gives the name of the
source file that IMPLIB uses (%s).

Example 2

Suppose the following command-definition statement is included
in the configuration file:

command_definition : cmd1 fp[/FI%s /FO%t]

With this command definition in place, the following command
(which would be placed in the make file):

CMD1 /A /FOtest.obj /B /FItest.c /C

will only be required when "test.obj" does not exist, or when
"test.c" is newer than "test.obj".

Example 3

Not all programs allow us to specify the names of all their source
and target files on the command line.

For the sake of discussion, let REVERSE be a program that
reverses a given text file. Further, suppose that the output of
the REVERSE is always called, "reversed.txt". For example, the
command:

REVERSE test.txt

would generate the file, "reversed.txt", which would be the
reversed version of "test.txt".

Since REVERSE is an unrecognized command, REVERSE will always be
required. We might wish to have the REVERSE command only be
required when "test.txt" is newer than "reversed.txt".

Since CMAKE cannot deduce the source and target files names from
the REVERSE command line, we could not use a command-definition
statement (for REVERSE) for this purpose.

However, we could create a batch file called, "rev.bat", with the
following command:

REVERSE %1

and supply the command-definition statement:

command_definition : rev sp[%s %t]

With this batch file and command definition in place, we could use
the following command in place of reverse in our make file:

REV test.txt reversed.txt

This command will only be required when "reversed.txt" does not
exist, or when "test.txt" is newer than "reversed.txt".

Other Examples

command_definition : sort sp[<%s >%t]
command_definition : rp sp[%s %t %s]
command_definition : compare sp[%s %s >%t]

Command-Equivalence Statements

Like command-definition statements, command-equivalence statements
may be used to expand CMAKE's command table. A command-
equivalence statement tells CMAKE that a particular command should
be processed as if it were another command.

Syntax

The general form of the command-equivalence configuration
statement is:

command_equivalence : command_name = equivalent_command_name

White space between 'command_equivalence' and the command name is
ignored. Both the command and equivalent-command names are
required. The names may be up to 8 characters long and should not
include-file-name extensions such as '.bat', '.com', or '.exe'.
The command names are not case sensitive. White space between
the command name and equivalent-command name is ignored.

The equivalent-command name must be either an intrinsic command
(e.g. CL, LINK, LIB, MASM,...), or a user-defined command that
has been defined in a previous command-definition statement.

See: Equivalent Commands

Example

Suppose that for some reason you choose to use a linker called,
NEWLINK, in place of LINK. If NEWLINK's command-line interface is
the same as LINK, you could use the following command-equivalence
statement to tell CMAKE that the NEWLINK command should be handled
as if it were a LINK command:

command_equivalence : newlink = link

Using CMAKE with Your Editor

BRIEF Epsilon The Microsoft Editor

After you execute CMAKE, you should review the output of CMAKE to
determine if CMAKE (or one of the commands that CMAKE has
executed), has failed or generated a warning message. To perform
this review, you may redirect the output of CMAKE to a log file,
and load the log file into your editor. Many programmer's editors
(e.g. BRIEF, Epsilon, and the Microsoft Editor) provide a
mechanism to efficiently view all compiler error messages. These
editors interpret the log file in order to place you at the
location in a source file where an error has occurred. Using this
technique, you can view all errors messages and correct the
problems as you go.

CMAKE uses a standard format for its error messages. Any editor
that can interpret the error messages that are generated by the
program, CL, will be able to interpret the error messages that are
generated by CMAKE.

Helpful Hints

What is BRIEF?

BRIEF is a programmer's editor that is available from Solution
Systems. It supports a C-like macro language and is distributed
with many useful macros.

Running CMAKE from BRIEF

First, you should create an appropriate set of environment
variables of the form:

BC[ext]="!CMAKE"

If you would like to able to execute CMAKE while you are editing a
file that has one of the extensions: '.c', '.h', '.mak', or
'.lnk'; you could create the following set of environment
variables:

BCC="!CMAKE"
BCH="!CMAKE"
BCMAK="!CMAKE"
BCLNK="!CMAKE"

The character, '!', is used to indicate that we would like to see
warning messages, even when CMAKE and all the commands that CMAKE
executes, are successful (i.e. return zero).

Run BRIEF and edit a file with an extension for which you have
created an environment variable.

To execute CMAKE, use the compile buffer command (Alt-F10).

After CMAKE is done, you will be placed at the source-file
location of the first error (if there are any errors). The error
message will be displayed in the message area at the bottom of the
screen.

Use the next_error command (Ctrl-n) to view additional error
messages.

Use the next_error 1 command (Ctrl-p) to pop up the error window.
From this window, you may select any error that you would like to
review.

The Error-Log File

If an error is found during compilation, BRIEF will create an
error-log file. The error-log-file name will be derived from the
edited-file name by replacing the extension with '.err'. For
example, if you were editing a file called, "c:\h\test.h", when
you initiated a compile, and there are errors, BRIEF will create an
error-log file called, "c:\h\test.err".

The error-log file is a system buffer that you may not edit.

If you exit BRIEF and then restart BRIEF, you may edit the error-
log file and use the next_error and next_error 1 commands to view
the errors from the earlier session.

If no errors are found, BRIEF will not create an error-log file.

Running CMAKE from DOS and Viewing Error Messages with BRIEF

Create a batch file with the following commands:

CMAKE >log.err
B log.err -mnext_error

Run the batch file from DOS.

If there are any errors, you will be placed at the source-file
location of the first error. The error message will be displayed
in the message area at the bottom of the screen.

Use the next_error command (Ctrl-n) to view additional error
messages.

Use the next_error 1 command (Ctrl-p) to pop up the error window.
From this window, you may select any error that you would like to
review.

Running CMAKE in a Batch File from BRIEF

Create a batch file, "run.bat", of the form:


CMAKE >log.err


Record the following keystroke macro:

F7 Remember
F10 dos "run.bat" Execute Command
To return from DOS
Alt-e "log.err" edit_file
Ctrl-p next_error 1
Enter enter
F10 Remember

This macro will execute the batch file, "run.bat", and load the
log file, "log.err", into BRIEF.

You may use Alt-F8 and Alt-F7 to save and load the macro,
respectively.

Use F8 to playback the macro.

Use the next_error command (Ctrl-n) to view each error message.

If the next_error command is included in the macro, you will be
placed at the location of the first error (if there are any
errors). However, the message area will not show the message of
the first error. The message, "Playback successful", will overlay
the error message.

Disk Swapping with BRIEF

If you will be executing CMAKE from within BRIEF, you should use
the flag, M, to enable disk swapping. This will provide more
memory for CMAKE and the programs that CMAKE executes. This flag
may be added to the BFLAGS environment variable. For example:

BFLAGS=-bi120k7l256Mru100za -mJPG -mrestore
^

Viewing Previous Errors with BRIEF

A macro consisting of the key strokes, (Ctrl-p UpArrow Enter),
could be used to view the previous error.

Modifying BRIEF

The BRIEF macro file, "errorfix.cb", controls the way in which
BRIEF handles the error-log file. You may change this macro to
suit your needs.

For example see: Viewing the Error-Log File

Viewing the Error-Log File with BRIEF

Most of the error messages that are listed in the error-log file
will be of the form:

file_name(line_number) : message

When the file name in the error message does not begin with a
drive letter, '/', or '\', BRIEF prefixes the path of the error-
log file to the file name. Because of this, if you use relative
paths or no paths (vs. absolute paths) on your file names, you
will have to place the error-log file in the directory from which
you execute CMAKE. If you would prefer to place the error file
into another directory, make the following changes to the routine,
"_error_info", in the BRIEF macro file, "errorfix.cb":

1. Replace
string error_text;
With
string error_text, curdir_string;

2. Replace
file_name = add_to_path (substr (base_name, 1, rindex
base_name, substr (base_name, 3, 1)) - 1), error_file);
With
getwd("", curdir_string);
file_name = add_to_path ( curdir_string , error_file );

With this change in place, when the file name in the error message
does not begin with a drive letter, '/', or '\', BRIEF will
prefix the current directory to the file name.

Clearing the Epsilon Process Buffer

The variable, clear_process_buffer, is 0 by default. To purge
the process buffer before each make call, set this variable to a
nonzero value. You may do this with the following commands:

F-8 clear_process_buffer 1 set_variable
C-F-3 write_state

If you do not set the variable, clear_process_buffer, to a nonzero
value, all error messages from all make calls will accumulate in
your error log.

Viewing the Error-Log File with Epsilon

Most of the error messages that are listed in the error-log file
will be of the form:

file_name(line_number) : message

When the file name in the error message does not begin with a
drive letter, '/', or '\', Epsilon prefixes the current directory
to the file name. Because of this, if you use relative paths or no
paths (vs. absolute paths) on your file names, you should view the
error-log file from the directory from which you executed CMAKE.

Helpful Hints

What is the Microsoft Editor?

The Microsoft Editor is a programmer's editor that was distributed
with the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Version 5.1 and the
Microsoft Macro Assembler Version 5.1. It consists of a single
executable, M.EXE (and a supporting initialization file called,
"tools.ini"). The Microsoft Editor is a powerful (and fast) tool
that supports macros and extensions which may be coded in C.

The TMP Environment Variable for the Microsoft Editor

You should set the environment variable, TMP, to establish the
location of the error-log file "m.msg". (The error-log file used
by the Microsoft Editor is always called, "m.msg".)

Running CMAKE from the Microsoft Editor

First, you should add an appropriate set of commands of the form:

extmake:[ext] CMAKE

to the file, "tools.ini". If you would like to able to execute
CMAKE while you are editing a file that has one of the extensions:
'.c', '.h', '.mak', '.lnk', or '.msg'; you could use the following
set of commands in the your "tools.ini" file:

extmake:c CMAKE
extmake:h CMAKE
extmake:mak CMAKE
extmake:lnk CMAKE
extmake:msg CMAKE

Run the Microsoft Editor and edit a file with an extension for
which you have added an "extmake" command to your "tools.ini"
file.

To execute CMAKE, use Arg Compile (Alt+A Shift+F3) or Argcompile
(F5).

After CMAKE is done, you will be placed at the source-file
location of the first error (if there are any errors). The error
message will be displayed on the dialog line at the bottom of the
screen.

Use Compile (Shift+F3) to view additional error messages.

Running CMAKE from DOS and Viewing Errors with the Microsoft Editor

Create a batch file with the following commands:

CMAKE >%TMP%\m.msg
M %TMP%\m.msg

Run the batch file from DOS.

Use Compile (Shift+F3) (repeatedly) to view each error message.

Note that if "/e compile" is added to the Microsoft Editor command
line, you will be placed at the location of the first error (if
there are any errors), but the error message will not appear on
the dialog line. The Microsoft copyright message will overlay the
error message.

Running CMAKE in a Batch File from the Microsoft Editor

Create a batch file, "run.bat", with the following commands:


CMAKE >m.msg


Define the following macro in your "tools.ini" file:

run:=Arg "run.bat" Shell Arg "$TMP:m.msg" Setfile
run:Alt+R

This macro will execute the batch file, "run.bat", and load the
log file, "m.msg", into the Microsoft Editor.

Use Alt+R to playback the macro.

Use Compile (Shift+F3) (repeatedly) to view each error message.

You may use the following alternative macro, if you would like to
avoid having to manually execute the first Compile command after
executing the macro:

run:=Arg Arg "dummy" Compile
Arg "run.bat" Shell
Arg "$TMP:m.msg" Setfile Compile

where "dummy" is a file that does not exist. (Remember that when
you add this macro to the file, "tools.ini", the entire macro
definition must be specified on one line.) If this macro is used,
you will be placed at the location of the first error (if there
are any errors). The sequence, Arg Arg "dummy" Compile, is used
to reset the Microsoft Editor error message pointer to the
"bottom" of the list, so that the final Compile in the "run" macro
will bring us to the "top" of the error list.

Overview of Optimization Techniques for CMAKE

There are a number of techniques that may be used to increase the
speed of CMAKE. Most of these techniques involve setting switches
to ensure that CMAKE does not do more work than is necessary.

The execution time that is provided by CMAKE may be used to help
you determine how to achieve the best performance in a given
situation.

Use the End-of-Includes Comment in Your Source Files

Place all include statements at the top of your source files. The
following comments should be placed within each source file, after
the section that contains the include statements:


File Types Comment

.c .h .rc /* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */
.asm ; CMAKE - INCLUDE END


CMAKE stops processing a given source file when an appropriate
"end-of-includes" comment is reached. Note that for resource-
script files ('.rc'), the comment should be placed after all
include statements and resource-include statements (i.e. ICON,
BITMAP, CURSOR, FONT, or user-defined resource statements).

For many applications, if these comments are used, the execution
time for CMAKE will be reduced by 50%.

Help CMAKE Find Include Files Quickly

If all of your application's source files and include files are
located in the directory from which you execute CMAKE, the include
files will be found quickly.

On the other hand, if you use the INCLUDE environment variable to
specify the location of your application's include files, there
will be a danger that CMAKE will waste time by first looking in
the wrong directories too often before finally locating each
include file.

If you do not keep your include files in the source directory or
current directory, add the following statements to your
configuration file to insure that CMAKE will not search these
directories for include files:

search_current_dir_for_includes = no
search_source_dir_for_includes = no

For many applications, if you eliminate unnecessary searches of
the source directory and current directory, the execution time for
CMAKE will be reduced by 15%.

You could also place all of your include files in a single
directory, and list this directory first in your INCLUDE
environment variable. For many applications, if this technique is
used, the execution time for CMAKE will be reduced by 50%.

If you do not wish to place all of your application's include
files into a single directory, you should arrange the directories
in you INCLUDE environment variable so that the directories that
contain most of your application's include files are listed first.
Depending upon your situation, you might be able to save even
more time by adding "set INCLUDE" statements to your make file in
order to rearrange the directories "on the fly" in a way that is
optimal for each module.

Have CMAKE Put "makefile.bat" on a RAM Drive

After analyzing your make file, CMAKE creates and executes the
batch program, "makefile.bat". You might wish to use the CMAKE
command-line option, /o, to instruct CMAKE to place the file,
"makefile.bat", on a RAM drive path. For example, if "d:\temp"
is a path on a RAM drive, you could execute CMAKE with the
following command:

CMAKE /od:\temp

Alternatively, if the environment variable, TEMP, is set to
"d:\temp", you could use the following command in a batch file to
execute CMAKE:

CMAKE /o%TEMP%

(In these examples, we have assumed that the make file is located
in the current directory and is called, "makefile").

Avoid Using the Verbose Output Format for CMAKE

The verbose output format (which is enabled with the /v option)
is a useful debugging tool. However, since it is quite detailed,
the execution time for CMAKE might double when the verbose output
format is selected.

Redirect CMAKE Output to a File on a RAM Drive

If you will be redirecting the output from CMAKE to a file, place
that file on a RAM drive. For example, if "d:\temp" is a path on
a RAM drive, you could execute CMAKE with the following command:

CMAKE >d:\temp\cmake.log

Alternatively, if the environment variable, TEMP, is set to
"d:\temp", you could use the following command in a batch file to
execute CMAKE:

CMAKE >%TEMP%\cmake.log

(In these examples, we have assumed that the make file is located
in the current directory and is called, "makefile".)

Do Not Have CMAKE Scan Include Files for Includes Unnecessarily

By default, CMAKE does not scan include files for include
statements. This default behavior may be altered by adding the
following statement to your configuration file:

scan_include_files_for_includes = yes

If you enable this switch, the execution time for CMAKE could
quadruple! You could reduce the impact of enabling this switch by
using "end-of-includes" comments within your include files, or, if
the use of include statements within include files is limited to
only a few files, you could enable this switch as needed, by using
the following statements in your make file:

REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES ON
REM CMAKE - SCAN INCLUDE FILES FOR INCLUDES OFF

Do Not Have CMAKE Check System-Include Dependencies Unnecessarily

By default, CMAKE ignores system-include statements. If you
modify system-include files, you will not want CMAKE to ignore
these statements (at least not all of them). To instruct CMAKE to
check system-include file dependencies, you could add the
following statements to your configuration file:

c_include_<>_on = yes
rc_include_<>_on = yes

If you enable these switches, the execution time for CMAKE could
double. A more efficient approach would be to use the following
comments in your source files, as needed:


File Types Comment

.c .h .rc /* CMAKE - INCLUDE <> ON/OFF */


Help CMAKE Find Configuration Data Quickly

If you place the configuration data for CMAKE at the end of a long
file that is shared by other applications (e.g. "win.ini"), CMAKE
will have to scan the entire file until it reaches the section
tag, [CMAKE]. This could add a few seconds to the execution time
for CMAKE. To eliminate the time it takes CMAKE to locate its
configuration data, put the data at the top of a shared file, or
in its own file (e.g. "cmake.cfg").

CMAKE Exit Codes

If an error occurs before the batch program, "makefile.bat", is
executed, CMAKE will terminate and return one of the following
exit codes:

EXIT CODE MEANING

0 Success
9659 CMAKE Command-Line Error
9660 Unable to Load Configuration Data
9661 Make File Not Found
9662 Unable to Create "makefile.bat"
9663 Unable to Create Predefined Pseudofile "start.psf"
9664 Unable to Process some Make-File Command or Statement
9665 A Token in the Make File was Truncated
9666 Nested Comments were Found in the Make File
9667 Out of Memory
9668 Unable to Flush Standard-Output-File Buffer
9669 Unable to Run "makefile.bat"
9670 Unable to Run QH.EXE

If the batch program, "makefile.bat", is executed and one of the
commands in "makefile.bat" fails (i.e. returns a nonzero value),
CMAKE will return the value that was returned by the command
that failed.

readme.txt greeting.c hello.c world.c message.lrf
makefile greeting.h hello.h world.h greeting.lnk

This sample demonstrates how to use CMAKE to maintain a DOS
application that is built with the programs: CL, LIB, and LINK.

Note the Following:

1. The commands (and comments) in the make file. CMAKE will
deduce all dependencies from these commands.

See: When is a CL Command Required?
When is a LIB Command Required?
When is a LINK Command Required?

2. The format of the LIB response file, "message.lrf". CMAKE
requires that a response file (of a particular form) be used
with the LIB command.

See: The LIB Command Line

3. The format of the LINK response file, "greeting.lnk". CMAKE
requires that a response file (of a particular form) be used
with the LINK command.

See: The LINK Command Line

4. The use and placement of the comment

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

in the files, "hello.c", "world.c", and "greeting.c".

In these files, this comment is placed after all #include
statements. Although this comment is not required in C-source
files, it serves as an end-of-file mark for CMAKE, and thus
prevents CMAKE from searching the entire source file for
#include statements.

This sample demonstrates how to use CMAKE to maintain a Microsoft
Windows application that is built with the programs: CL, RC, and
LINK.

Note the Following:

1. The commands (and comments) in the make file. CMAKE will
deduce all dependencies from these commands.

See: When is a CL Command Required?
When is an RC/C Command Required?
When is an RC/A Command Required?
When is a LINK Command Required?

2. The format of the LINK response file, "hw.lnk". CMAKE requires
that a response file (of a particular form) be used with the
LINK command.

See: The LINK Command Line

Since CMAKE does not use the LIB environment variable, the
paths of the Windows libraries, "libw.lib" and "slibcew.lib"
must be provided.

3. The use and placement of the comment

/* CMAKE - INCLUDE END */

in the files, "hw.c" and "hw.rc".

In the file, "hw.c", this comment is placed after all #include
statements. Although this comment is not required in C-source
files, it serves as an end-of-file mark for CMAKE, and thus
prevents CMAKE from searching the entire source file for
#include statements.

See: Use the End-of-Includes Comment in Your Source Files

In the file, "hw.rc", this comment is placed after all #include

statements and resource-include statements (i.e. ICON, BITMAP,
CURSOR, FONT, or user-defined resource statements). This
comment is required in this file.

M0010.



Fatal CMAKE error M0012

'character' is an invalid command-line option

An invalid option was specified in the command line used to
invoke CMAKE.

See: The CMAKE Command Line



Fatal CMAKE error M0071

cannot process configuration statement

One of the statements in the configuration file could not be
processed.

This message is displayed only when the verbose output format is
selected.

See: The CMAKE Configuration File



Fatal CMAKE error M0126

unable to run QH.EXE - must be in current directory or PATH

The /h or /help option was specified in the command line used to
invoke CMAKE. However, CMAKE could not locate the QuickHelp
program, QH.EXE. QH.EXE must be in the current directory or in
one of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable.

See: Display Help on CMAKE



CMAKE error M0005

output file 'filename' not created

CMAKE could not create the file, "makefile.bat".

If the /o option has been specified in the command line used to
invoke CMAKE, check to be sure that the path given with this
option is valid.

See: The CMAKE Command Line



CMAKE error M0009

unable to flush standard output prior to loading 'file1' to run 'file2'

CMAKE was unable to flush the standard output buffer before
loading "command.com" to execute the batch program,
"makefile.bat".

If you have chosen to redirect the output from CMAKE to a file,
it is possible that the drive on which you have placed this file
has no more free space. This is more likely in the case where
your make file and/or configuration file are large, and you have
selected the verbose output format and redirected the output from
CMAKE to a RAM drive.

See: Select Verbose Diagnostic Output from CMAKE
Avoid Using the Verbose Output Format for CMAKE
Redirect CMAKE Output to a File on a RAM Drive



CMAKE error M0010

unable to load 'file1' to run output file 'file2'

CMAKE could not load "command.com" to execute the batch program,
"makefile.bat". CMAKE uses the COMSPEC environment variable to
locate "command.com".

If you cannot solve this problem, use the CMAKE command-line
option, /n, or the configuration variable, run_output_file, to
avoid executing "makefile.bat" from within CMAKE. Then, after
CMAKE creates "makefile.bat", you may execute this batch file from
the command line.

See: Suppress Command Execution by CMAKE
run_output_file



CMAKE error M0013

The object-file name for a CL command given in the make file is
NULL.

See: The CL Command Line



CMAKE error M0015

unable to open source file 'filename'

CMAKE could not open the source file for a CL command given in the
make file. CMAKE opens source files in order to search for
#include statements.

See: The CL Command Line



CMAKE error M0016

unable to get time stamp for source file 'filename'

CMAKE could not obtain the time stamp for the source file of a CL
command given in the make file.

See: The CL Command Line
