LMake

Version:         $VER: LMake 1.05 (02.10.97)
Purpose:         Creates Catalogs/Sourcecode
Needs:           Flexcat 1.9 or above
Script needs:    A catalog-description (#?.cd) [see flexcat.guide]


Template:
=========

   BASENAME/A,CAT/S,NOCT/S,SRC/S,SD/K

           BASENAME =  The name of the project without extensions.
                       The script will use <name>.cd and create
                       <name>_<language>.ct and <name>.src , if
                       specified by SRC switch

           CAT      =  Create <basename>.catalog in
                       locale:catalogs/<language>/

           NOCT     =  Do not create or update catalog translation
                       file  (.ct)

           SRC      =  Activate Source creation

           SD       =  Name of the FlexCat Source-Description
                       (without .sd)
                       This script will then create sourcecode
                       <basename>.src
                       (see Flexcat documentation)

How to use #1: Create catalog and .ct
=====================================

   First, you have to create a catalog-description (see Flexcat.guide for
   further information). Name this file <programname>.cd

   Then, start LMake script with just the basename as an argument

   e.g.  LMake MyProg

   The LMake script will then open MyProg.cd and create a catalog
   translation file MyProg_<language>.ct in the same directory and a
   catalog-file LOCALE:catalogs/<language>/MyProg.catalog, if the
   argument switch CAT is set.

   If NOCT is specified, nothing will happen. Use this switch to
   create just a sourcefile or while testing with incomplete catalog
   descriptions/translations. (Otherwise the "***New" markers may be
   lost)

   (The <language> will be replaced by the preferred language-name,
   e.g deutsch, dansk, nederlands, ....
   LMake searches for env:language, so make sure, that this
   environment-variable ist set up correctly)

   Example: SetEnv Language deutsch

How to use #2: Create source-code from .cd - file
=================================================

   Flexcat offers the ability to create source code from just a .cd
   file, so you just can use this in your own projects. All declarations
   LibOpen etc. are made.

   Flexcat comes with a whole bunch of predefined source-descriptions (.sd)
   [C (For SAS, DICE, GCC, Azec etc),Assembler, AmigaE, Oberon ....]

   Those .sd - files can be found in the lib-drawer of the flexcat archive.

   To create a .ct and a source:

      LMake <basename> SRC SD=<source description>

   To create a .ct , a catalog and a source:

      LMake <basename> CAT SRC SD=<source description>

   To create a source only:

      LMake <basename> NOCT SRC SD=<source description>

   <source description> is the name  of  the  source  description  in  /lib
   without the .sd extension!!!!!!

   Example:

   LMake MyProg SRC SD=AutoC_c

   You have to specify both SRC and SD=xxxx to create a source code!

   Name of the source is <Progname>.src
