Creating a build specification template for C/C++ projects

To create a build specification template for C/C++ projects:

Run kwinject on your build command using the --variable (-V) and --output (-o) options:

kwinject --variable <variable>=<string> --output <file>.tpl <build-command>

where

• <variable> must be a unique sequence of alpha-numeric characters and underscores, starting with a letter
• <string> is a directory path
• the output file must have the extension.tpl
• <build-command> is your build command, for example, make

For example:

kwinject -V SRCROOT=/builds/nightly/foosystem -o buildspec.tpl make

In this example, every occurrence of /builds/nightly/foosystem will be replaced by %(SRCROOT) in the build specification template.

Example compile line from the output build specification template:

compile;%(SRCROOT);/usr/bin/cc|c;%(SRCROOT)/obj/src.o;src/src.c.c;-Iinclude
