Method Detail

getLibraryKey

java.lang.String getLibraryKey(java.io.File libname)

Extracts the significant part of a library name to ensure there aren't collisions

getLibraryPath

java.io.File[] getLibraryPath()

returns the library path for the linker

getLibraryPatterns

java.lang.String[] getLibraryPatterns(java.lang.String[] libnames,
                                      LibraryTypeEnum libraryType)

Returns a set of filename patterns corresponding to library names. For example, "advapi32" would be expanded to "advapi32.dll" by DevStudioLinker and to "libadvapi32.a" and "libadvapi32.so" by GccLinker.

Parameters:

libnames - array of library names

getLinker

Linker getLinker(LinkType linkType)

Gets the linker for the specified link type.

Specified by:

getLinker in interface Processor

Returns:

appropriate linker or null, will return this if this linker can handle the specified link type

isCaseSensitive

boolean isCaseSensitive()

Returns true if the linker is case-sensitive

addVersionFiles

void addVersionFiles(VersionInfo versionInfo,
                     LinkType linkType,
                     java.io.File outputFile,
                     boolean isDebug,
                     java.io.File objDir,
                     TargetMatcher matcher)
              throws java.io.IOException

Adds source or object files to the bidded fileset to support version information.

Parameters:

versionInfo - version information

linkType - link type

isDebug - true if debug build

outputFile - name of generated executable

objDir - directory for generated files

matcher - bidded fileset

Throws:

java.io.IOException
