Compiling Open C API Programs

To compile Open C API C/C++ programs on a non-Windows platform, you may use the shell script ufcomp. On Windows systems you should use the Visual Studio environment. The ufcomp script file has the following formats where items in [ ] brackets are optional and items in < > brackets are required:

ufcomp [-h] -- Get help for usage of ufcomp

ufcomp <file names> -- Compile using default compile options

ufcomp -sc|ac "<c options>" <file names> -- Compile C code using user provided options

ufcomp -scc|acc "<c++ options>" <file names> -- Compile C++ code using user provided options

ufcomp -default -- List default compile options

ufcomp -- Interactive compilation

The switches have the following meanings:

-h - get help.

-default - list default options.

-sc - user specifies all C compile options.

-scc - user specifies all C++ compile options

-ac - user adds additional switches to default C compile switches.

-acc - user adds additional switches to the default C++ compile switches

-v - ufcomp will display the exact command line used to compile.

<file names> - name of the files to be compiled.

<c options> - user supplied C/C++ compile options, they must be quoted by "".
