[WXP] MakeDeps: generation of the vcproj file

[Francis ANDRE]

Hi

Using MakeDeps, I am trying to setup the msvc_2003 vcproj file for building the 
jvm and I am facing some problems of configuration. Can someone drop an example 
of use?? or a more detailed explanation of the command line arguments than those 
given by the usage() as below (AFAIK, platform-name=WinGammaPlatform does not 
work and -dspFileName neither)

TIA

usage:
         makeDeps platform-name     platform-file     database-file [MakeDeps 
args] [platform args]
         makeDeps diffs platform-name old-platform-file old-database-file 
new-platform-file new-datab
ase-file [MakeDeps args] [platform args]
where platform-name is the name of a platform MakeDeps supports
(currently "WinGammaPlatform" or "UnixPlatform")
MakeDeps options:
   -firstFile [filename]: Specify the first file in link order (i.e.,
    to have a well-known function at the start of the output file)
   -lastFile [filename]: Specify the last file in link order (i.e.,
    to have a well-known function at the end of the output file)
WinGammaPlatform platform-specific options:
   -sourceBase <path to directory (workspace) containing source files; no 
trailing slash>
   -dspFileName <full pathname to which .dsp file will be written; all parent 
directories must alread
y exist>
   -envVar <environment variable to be inserted into .dsp file, substituting for 
path given in -sourc
eBase. Example: HotSpotWorkSpace>
   -dllLoc <path to directory in which to put jvm.dll and jvm_g.dll; no trailing 
slash>
   If any of the above are specified, they must all be.
   Additional, optional arguments, which can be specified multiple times:
     -absoluteInclude <string containing absolute path to include directory>
     -relativeInclude <string containing include directory relative to -envVar>
     -define <preprocessor flag to be #defined (note: doesn't yet support 
#define (flag) (value))>
     -perFileLine <file> <line>
     -conditionalPerFileLine <file> <line for release build> <line for debug build>
   (NOTE: To work around a bug in nmake, where you can't have a '#' character in 
a quoted string, all
  of the lines outputted have "#"prepended)
     -startAt <subdir of sourceBase>
     -ignoreFile <file which won't be able to be found in the sourceBase because 
it's generated later
 >
     -additionalFile <file not in database but which should show up in .dsp 
file, like includeDB_core
 >
     -additionalGeneratedFile <environment variable of generated file's 
location> <relative path to d
irectory containing file; no trailing slash> <name of file generated later in 
the build process>
     -prelink <build> <desc> <cmds>:
  Generate a set of prelink commands for the given BUILD
  ("Debug" or "Release"). The prelink description and commands
  are both quoted strings.
     Default includes: "."
     Default defines: WIN32, _WINDOWS, "HOTSPOT_BUILD_USER=$(USERNAME)"
