The module make provides a set of functions similar to
the UNIX type Make functions.
all() -> up_to_date | error
all(Options) -> up_to_date | error
Options = [Option] Option = noexec | load | netload | par |
<compiler option>This function first looks in the current working directory for
a file named Emakefile (see below) specifying the set of
modules to compile. If no such file is found, the set of modules
to compile defaults to all modules in the current working
directory.
Traversing the set of modules, it then recompiles every module for which at least one of the following conditions apply:
As a side effect, the function prints the name of each module it
tries to compile. If compilation fails for a module, the make
procedure stops and error is returned.
Options is a list of make- and compiler options.
The following make options exist:
noexecloadnetloadparmake is used in parallell on all known
nodes.All items in Options that are not make options are assumed
to be compiler options and are passed as-is to
compile:file/2. Options defaults to [].
files(ModFiles) -> up_to_date | error
files(ModFiles, Options) -> up_to_date | error
ModFiles = [Module | File] Module = atom() File = string()Options = [Option] Option = noexec | load | netload | par |
<compiler option>files/1,2 does exactly the same thing as all/0,1 but
for the specified ModFiles, which is a list of module or
file names. The file extension .erl may be omitted.
make:all/0,1 looks in the current working directory for
a file named Emakefile for the set of modules to compile.
If it exists, Emakefile should contain the module names (atoms)
separated by periods. If the module is located in another directory,
the path has to be specified. For example:
file1.
file2.
'../foo/file3'.
'File4'.
