Build Types and Methods

 

The first step in customizing your unique Build Types, Build Rules and Methods is to review your compiler/tool documentation.  By reviewing your documentation, you can determine the different possible input and output file extensions that can be used by your compiler.  Your compiler documentation is also where you will find the command line calls that your compiler requires in order to perform specific file translations.

The Steps to define a custom Build Type are as follows:

1)  Develop your custom Method using the reusable REXX routines. 

2)  2Save your custom Method to the following directory:

<root>/<server>/webapps/openmake.ear/openmake.war/Methods

 

3)  Through the Web Client, add a new Build Type.

 

4)  Associate the Build Rules with the new Build Type.  Your customized script will appear in the "Command Script to Execute" Drop-Down List Box.

 

5)  Test your new Build Type by creating a Target that uses the custom Build Type and then execute a Build.
