Makefile for Wingz application?
Posted in 1994
Topics: General Discussion
We're running Wingz on SunOs. I would like to set up a makefile to help maintain the production environment for a large Wingz application. I have about 70 scripts and about 20 worksheets used as menus, and the application is only going to get bigger. Here are the various options I've considered. 1) Have the make compile a Wingz Hyperscript script from the command line. This is not possible, says tech support. 2) For every script that needs compiling, have the make bring up Wingz from the command line and run a compilation script. The catch here is that there isn't a way to pass a parameter (say, the name of a script) to the Wingz startup script. Not to mention that bringing Wingz up and down could get pretty slow. 3) Create a compilation script that loops through all my scripts and performs the work of the make: get the time stamp of the script, compile if newer than object script. Tech support tells me that an external function call might be able to do this. 4) Just recompile everything in a single script already! I'm currently using option (4). Anyone have experience with setting up something like this? E-mail and I'll summarize. Thanks! - Laura Jensen
