<BuildPassName>_PRODUCES (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This macro instructs the Build tool to build this directory before any directories that contain the corresponding <BuildPassName>_CONSUMES macro are built.

Remarks

You use this macro in your Sources file. The Build tool uses each <BuildPassName>_PRODUCES macro only during the pass of the build process named <BuildPassName>. For example, the Build tool uses the ASN_PRODUCES macro only during the ASN pass; during all other build passes, this macro is ignored. The directory with a Sources file that contains a <BuildPassName>_PRODUCES macro with a particular value will be built before any directories with a corresponding <BuildPassName>_CONSUMES macro value. This build order happens regardless of the directories' position in the Dirs File. The values for these macros are case-insensitive strings.

The implementations of this macro are:

  • ASN_PRODUCES
  • COMPILE_PRODUCES
  • EXPLIB_PRODUCES
  • LIB_PRODUCES
  • LINK_PRODUCES
  • LOCALIZE_PRODUCES
  • MANAGEDDLL_PRODUCES
  • MANAGEDEXE_PRODUCES
  • MANAGEDMOD_PRODUCES
  • MANAGEDRESX_PRODUCES
  • MANAGEDWIN_PRODUCES
  • MC_PRODUCES
  • MIDL_PRODUCES
  • POSTBUILD_PRODUCES
  • PRECOMPHEADER_PRODUCES
  • RENUMBERICONIDS_PRODUCES
  • RES2RES_PRODUCES
  • THUNK_PRODUCES
  • WCEFILES0_PRODUCES

These implementations correspond to the build passes defined in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Misc\Buildtable.xml.

Example

The following code example shows three Sources files for three projects that use the <BuildPassName>_PRODUCES and <BuildPassName>_CONSUMES macros. In this example, projects A and B will be built before project C during the MIDL pass.

#PROJECT A
MIDL_PRODUCES=global_headers
 
#PROJECT B
MIDL_PRODUCES=ProjectB_files
 
#PROJECT C
MIDL_CONSUMES=global_headers ProjectB_files

A project can only define one <BuildPassName>_PRODUCES string for each pass. Therefore, the following entry in a Sources file is invalid:

MIDL_PRODUCES=ProjectB_files ProjectC_files
