NAME¶

DESCRIPTION¶

By default icmstart.rc is found in /etc/icmake/icmstart.rc, but if a file $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc is found then the latter file is used by icmstart(1). $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc in turn is overruled by specifying a -c option when invoking icmstart(1).

The default resource file contains the following specifications, preparing for the construction of a C++ program using icmbuild(1):

    CLASSES
    icmconf
    P main.cc 
    P main.ih 
    P usage.cc
    P version.cc
    P ? scanner 
    P ? parser  
        

o

empty lines, which are ignored;

o

lines beginning with a hash-character (#), also ignored;

o

an optional installation mode followed by a source-destination specification.

INSTALLATION MODE¶

o

either a P (don’t install with icmstart xxx library) or an L (don’t install with icmstart xxx program);

o

a D, indicating that the source must also be installed by default, i.e., if neither `program’ or `library’ was specified as second argument.

o

a b, indicating that the file must not be installed if the -b (basic installation) option was specified when calling icmstart.

o

Following the optional P, L, D, b combination a space delimited optional ? may be specified. If specified the installation of the file or directory must be confirmed by the user.

SOURCE-DESTINATION SPECIFICATIONS¶

o

source
A plain name must exist in the icmstart’s skeleton directory. It is installed in the destination directory `dest’ specified when calling icmstart(1). Example:

    CLASSES     
        
    

skeletondir/CLASSES is installed as dest/CLASSES

o

pathspec
If `pathspec’ does not begin with a slash it must exist in icmstart’s skeleton directory. It is installed as `pathspec’ in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). Example:

    dir/file
        
    

skeletondir/dir/file is installed as dest/dir/file

o

/pathspec or ~/pathspec The ~-character is expanded to the user’s home directory. The pathspec’s final element is installed in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). Example:

    ~/.icmake/file
        
    

$HOME/.icmake/file is installed as dest/file When the above source specifications are followed by a destination specification destspec (a file or non-absolute directory specification) then the source specification is installed as dest/destspec) below the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). Examples:

    CLASSES CLASSES             # skeletondir/CLASSES is installed as 
                                #   dest/CLASSES
    dir/file dir/file           # skeletondir/dir/file is installed as
                                #   dest/dir/file
    ~/.icmake/file .icmake/file # $HOME/.icmake/file is installed as 
                                #   dest/.icmake/file
        
    

Icmstart conveerts the destination specification to a full path specification. If this full path specification does not begin with dest’s full path specification an error message is displayed and icmstart ends.

FILES¶

o

/usr/share/icmake/CLASSES Example of an icmbuild CLASSES file.
