Compiling Open C API Programs

To compile Open C API C/C++ programs on Unix, you may use the shell script ufcomp. On WNT systems you should use the Visual Studio environment. The ufcomp script file has the following formats where items in [ ] brackets are optional and items in < > brackets are required:

ufcomp [-h] -- Get help for usage of ufcomp

ufcomp <file names> -- Compile using default compile options

ufcomp -sc|ac "<c options>" <file names> -- Compile C code using user provided options

ufcomp -scc|acc "<c++ options>" <file names> -- Compile C++ code using user provided options

ufcomp -default -- List default compile options

ufcomp -- Interactive compilation

The switches have the following meanings:

-h - get help.

-default - list default options.

-sc - user specifies all C compile options.

-scc - user specifies all C++ compile options

-ac - user adds additional switches to default C compile switches.

-acc - user adds additional switches to the default C++ compile switches

-v - ufcomp will display the exact command line used to compile.

<file names> - name of the files to be compiled.

<c options> - user supplied C/C++ compile options, they must be quoted by "".
