- <h3>Using The generate_component_mpc.pl Script</h3>
- This document describes the options and usage of the Perl script <tt>generate_component_mpc.pl</tt>
- in the <tt>$(CIAO_ROOT)/bin</tt> directory.
- <HR>
- <P>
- <h4>Assumptions</h4>
- This script is useful for generating MPC files for relatively simple component
- applications. The string name passed to the script should be the name of the <em>single</em>
- IDL file for that build (without the extension) and also the name of the single
- CIDL file, if it is a component build. The names of export files, preprocessor
- macros, and library names in the generated MPC file will all be constructed
- from this string. It is also assumed that the IDL file for a component build
- will contain a single component declaration.
- <P>
- Judicious use of the script options in the table below will generate a build
- that keeps to a minimum both the code generated from IDL and the number of
- linked libraries from the middleware.
- <P>
- <HR>
