timpokorny / cpptask Goto Github PK

Summary

<cpptask> only supports generating dynamic libraries and executables.

What I'm trying to do

Produce a library (file.a) that users can statically link with their apps.

Minimum Steps to Reproduce

Entering "static" in the outtype attribute of the <cpptask> declaration causes an error stating that it is not a valid option

Expected and Observed Results

• Should be able to enter static as an outtype option
• Static library (file.a) will be produced in the output directory on completion

The README says that the following line should appear in the build.xml file:

<taskdef name="cpptask" classname="com.lbf.cpptask.CppTask"/>

However, there was no such class in the cpptask.jar file. I had to use:

<taskdef name="cpptask" classname="org.portico.ant.tasks.cpptask.CppTask"/>

Also, the example in the README includes an objdir attribute of the cpptask element. However, I recieved the following error from Ant:

/media/sdb1/checkouts/hive/targets/minidb/build.xml:38: cpptask doesn't support the "objdir" attribute

Just noted that the usage example in the class level javadoc for VerifyJdkTask (src/java/cpptask/org/portico/ant/tasks/platform/VerifyJdkTask.java) mentions an architecture parameter.

From what I can determine from the code, the parameter should be named arch instead.

Oracle JDK 10 does not have a jre sub-folder per https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/install/installed-directory-structure-jdk-and-jre.htm#JSJIG-GUID-5CD31FB7-D906-4F4D-BEF6-353FBC68D4F7

Method VerifyJdkTask.containsJdk validates a location as a JDK based on the presence of a jre sub-folder.

Ipsofacto ... it don't work good.

Summary

As a C++ developer I require the ability to link to the VC12 runtime, so that I can build libraries for projects that are themselves built against VC12

What I'm trying to do

I'm developing a plugin DLL for an architecture that is itself compiled against VC12. The plugin needs to be linked against the same runtime as to avoid compatibility warnings/errors.

Work Breakdown

• Add VC12 as a valid compiler type

Summary

When configured to use GCC/G++ <cpptask> currently calls the gcc/g++ executable to both compile and link. This should be changed so that it calls ld directly to perform linking.

What I'm trying to do

Pass linker arguments to ld without having to specify -Wl,
