making my own libraries or 3rd party libraries

[jpelletier]

I'm trying to port the mcurses library from Arduino to NetBurner. With the makefile below, it compiles all the netburner code, not just this library.
I would like to use the boilerplate.mk for convenience, but how to do it to compile only my library?

My makefile contains:
NAME = mcurses

C_SRC = mcurses.c editor.c hexedit.c

include $(NNDK_ROOT)/make/boilerplate.mk

all:
$(CXX) -c mcurses.c -o mcurses.o
$(CXX) -c editor.c -o mcurses.o
$(CXX) -c hexedit.c -o mcurses.o
$(AR) -o mcurses.a mcurses.o editor.o hexedit.o

install:
cp mcurses.a ../lib
cp *.h ../include

Hello,

In your project makefile, you are going to want to set the variable TARGET_TYPE to a library. You have 3 different options for TARGET_TYPE:

Code: Select all

# Set TARGET_TYPE in your makefile to generate a target.
# Supported makefile target types: (default = app)
#	nblib	: build .a file and place in nburn lib directory
#	lib		: build .a file and place in current build directory
#	app		: build an _APP.s19 file and place in current directory

By default, app is selected. You will use nblib or lib, depending on your preference.

After you build the library, in your project that utilizes the library, you will add the following to your project makefile

XTRALIB += <libname>

Thanks, it worked fine!

Here's my updated makefile:
TARGET_TYPE = lib
NAME = mcurses

C_SRC = mcurses.c editor.c hexedit.c

include $(NNDK_ROOT)/make/boilerplate.mk

install:
cp obj/release/mcurses.a ../lib
cp *.h ../include
