<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>
