How to use bldmake

The bldmake tool processes the component description file (bld.inf) in the current directory and generates the batch file abld.bat and several build batch makefiles (.make). abld can then use the makefiles to carry out the various stages of building the component.

The tool supports a number of command line options, however most developers will simply use:

> bldmake bldfiles

bldmake then carries out the following 3-stage process:

1. Creates the directory: \epoc32\build\absolute_path_to_bld.inf_file\

2. Generates makefiles for the component into this directory

3. Produces a batch file called abld.bat in the current directory.
