INSTALLATION OF MAKE-EFFECT

The Make-Effect installation package is available on the web at http://sourceforge.net/projects/make-effect.

To install Make-Effect use the built-in QNX4 utility install:

$ cd /
$ install -u <path to package>

Make-Effect will be installed in the /usr/local/make-effect directory. In addition, in the directory /usr/local/bin a hard link me-create to the me-create.sh script will be created.

An interactive installation procedure will ask whether the English and/or Russian documentation should be installed. If any options are selected during installation, then subsection Make-Effect will appear in the QNX documentation system, accessible by PhHelp. Regardless of options chosen, the HTML version of the Make-Effect documentation will be copied to the Make-Effect installation directory.

REMOVAL OF MAKE-EFFECT

Complete removal of Make-Effect requires deletion of:

• the file: /usr/local/bin/me-create;
• the directories: /usr/help/product/make-effect_en, /usr/help/product/make-effect_ru; and files /usr/help/product/make-effect_en.toc, /usr/help/product/make-effect_ru.toc in the directory /usr/local/make-effect.

An automatic removal procedure is not implemented in the current version of Make-Effect.

BUILDING MAKE-EFFECT PROJECTS WITHOUT MAKE-EFFECT

If Make-Effect was used with default settings, then created projects will not compile. The reason for this is the absence of the me-autodep utility.

There are several ways to retain the capability to compile created projects after removal of Make-Effec though:

• save the utility /usr/local/make-effect/me-autodep within the project directory and specify relative path to the utility in the autodep parameter of the project makefile;
• disable dependency-based compilation.

A build session can be created without Make-Effect by copying of an existing session. Subproject configuration files can also be created by copying; subproject name should be replaced in the configuration file manually in this case.
