- Using SMAK with C source files
-
-
- SMAK works with C, too! The /2 command line parameter can be used
- to specify Microsoft C compiler format.
-
- Note: My knowledge of C is limited to Microsoft's Quick C 2.0, which is
- the only C compiler I have tested SMAK with. I would appreciate any
- information that others can provide me with on other C compilers.
-
-
-
- Entering "SMAK hello.c /2" command at the DOS prompt will "make" the
- following sample C program. Note the QCL compiler /c switch that tells
- the QCL compiler not to pass the object files to the linker automatically,
- since SMAK will do this.
-
-
-
- /* =================== Begin program HELLO.C =================== */
-
- #include <c:\qc2\include\stdio.h>
-
- /* Note that SMAK directives are commented off. */
-
- /*
-
- 'begin MAKE
- ' c:\qc2\bin\qcl 'compiler program
- ' c:\qc2\bin\link 'linker program and options
- ' begin C 'source file default extension - source list follows
- ' c:\qc2\samples\hello /c ' main source module with compile options
- ' begin OBJ 'object file default extension - object list follows
- ' begin LIB
- ' c:\qc2\lib\slibce 'linker library
- 'end MAKE
-
- */
-
-
- main()
- {
- printf (" HELLO! (compiled and linked with SMAK, written in Quick C 2.0)");
- }
-
-
- /* ==================== End program HELLO.C ==================== */
-
-
- Alternately, you could rely on the QCL program to do the linking, rather
- than SMAK, by using the following make directives:
-
- /*
-
- 'begin MAKE
- ' c:\qc2\bin\qcl 'compiler program
- ' 'no linker program, QCL handles linking
- ' begin C 'default source extension - source list follows
- ' c:\qc2\samples\hello ' main source module with compile options
- 'end MAKE
-
- */
-
- This is not desirable, however, as all compiler options and link commands
- would have to be specified on a single line along with the main source
- module, just as you would do from the command line. For more complex,
- multi-module programs, the first SMAK script is more manageable and
- clearer. The organized, columnar approach that SMAK uses makes it
- preferable to the QCL spaghetti-code method.
