Description

Purpose

• Full-GBS SubSystems:
  1. Component - From Component res and/or export
  2. SubSystem - From res to res and/or export and from ext to export
• Non-GBS SubSystems:
  1. Subsystem - From SubSystem to res and/or export

The export.gbs files located in the GBS_COMPONENT_PATH directories are used to specify which files of the Component are to be exported to a relative directory in RES/$GBS_SUBSYS and/or EXPORT when using the gbsexport command.

The export.gbs files located in the GBS_SUBSYS_PATH directories are used to specify which files of the SubSystem, any RES and/or EXT are to be exported to a relative directory in RES/$SUBSYS and/or EXPORT when using the gbsexport command.

Files can be exported to $GBS_RES_PATH/$GBS_SUBSYS and/or to $GBS_EXPORT_PATH depending on the existence of these directories or selective by means if the to_base prefix.

Besides copying files it is also possible to create (msi) install programs.

By default:
Exported directories are created with mode: u=rwx,go=rx,o=x
Exported files are created with mode: ugo:r

General

Additional for this file:

• Lines with no leading white-space define the destination (output_directory)
• Following lines with leading white-space define the source (from_file)
• Keywords are case sensitive
• The .include directive is not allowed

Syntax:

destination_line

source_line

...

destination_line := [to_base:]to_path['|'chmods] [build-line-selection]

source_line := copy_line | install_line

copy_line := [from_base:][from_path]from_file [to_file]['|'chmods]

install_line := INSTALL:command [args...] to_file['|'chmods]

Destination lines (to_path) can be appended with a Build Selector enabling skipping of the whole destination_set dependent on the current Build.
Refer to GBS-files: General for explanation of the build-line-selection mechanism.

Semantics:

to_base := EXPORT | RESSUB | ANY

Specifies explicit output location.

ANY: Default. Export to RESSUB and/or EXPORT depending on their existence

RESSUB: Base is GBS_RES_PATH/SUBSYS

EXPORT: Base is to GBS_EXPORT_PATH

to_path

Relative to to_base

../ or '*' not allowed

from_base := CMP | EXT | RES | SILO | SUB | GBSEXT_name_PATH | INSTALL

Specifies explicit input location.

CMP: Base is GBS_COMPONENT_PATH

CMP: is the default for Component export.gbs and should not be specified (custom)

CMP: may only be specified in a Component export.gbs

EXT: Base is GBS_EXT_PATH. Files MUST exist

RES: Base is GBS_RES_PATH

SILO: Base is GBS_SILO_PATH

SUB: Base is GBS_SUBSYS_PATH

SUB: is the default for Gen and Non-Full-GBS Subsystem export.gbs

SUB: Only specific directories can be selected (audit, export, build, comp, tool)

GBSEXT_name_PATH: Base is the directory defined by that Environment Variable

INSTALL: cannot be specified in a Component export.gbs

INSTALL: Base is the same location as the export.gbs file

from_path

Relative to from_base

../ or '*' not allowed

Default is from_base

from_file

../ or '*' not allowed

Use $GBS_BLD_src_type to specify Build specific generated file-types

to_file

Optional. Mandatory for INSTALL:

Specifies a (different) output name for the file.
A dot indicates the same as the input file name

chmods

chmod_comma-list

Use to change the default file/directory permissions

chmod := Unix_symbolic_mode_notation>

E.g.: u=rwx,go=r or 0755

For the chmod notation refer to Wikipedia chmod

command

Command that will invoke the (msi) install create program

Before execution the CWD will be set to the same locations as the export.gbs file

Best way to work is to use the copy_lines to create a directory/file structure and then use an install_line to create an installer using that directory/file structure

args

Argument(s) for command

Optional

General:

Paths containing non-current Build Build-names will be skipped for the current Build.

Notes:

• No wild-cards allowed (e.g.: *.h)
• file/directory specifications containing spaces are supported:
  All occurrences of %_ (Linux), $_ (Win32) and %20 (all) are replaced by spaces.

Example of an export.gbs:

    #===============================
    #  [otv_al_s:ocs] export.gbs
    #===============================
    RESSUB:inc/$GBS_BUILD				== mingw
        inc/http_init.h
        inc/lsm.h
        inc/oco.h
        inc/ocs.h
        inc/ocs_cfg.h
    RESSUB:lib/$GBS_BUILD				== mingw
        bld/$GBS_BUILD/ocs$GBS_BLD_GLB
        EXPORT:bin					== mingw
        bld/$GBS_BUILD/ocs$GBS_BLD_GLBK	|ugo:x
    
    ## EOF ##
