<P>
Jambase is a base set of Jam rules which
provide roughly make(1)-like functionality for
<a href="Jam.html"><b>jam</b></A>, the Jam executable program.
This document, which started out as the Jambase(5) man page,
is a reference guide to the
<A href="#RULES">rules</A>,
<A href="#PSEUDOTARGETS">pseudotargets</A>,
and <A href="#VARS">variables</A>
defined in Jambase for use in Jamfiles.
<P>

<P>
Jam documentation and source are available from the
<A HREF=http://public.perforce.com/public/index.html>Perforce Public Depot</a>.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Clean</B> <I>clean</I> : <I>targets</I> ;
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Removes existing <I>targets</I> when <I>clean</I> is built.

explicitly for targets to be removed.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>FDefines</B> <I>defines</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE>
Expands a list of definitions into a list of compiler
(or preprocessor) switches (such as

<B>File</B> <I>target</I> : <I>source</I> ;
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Copies <I>source</I> into <I>target.</I>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>FIncludes</B> <I>dirs</I> ; <BLOCKQUOTE>

<P>
<B>GenFile</B> <I>target</I> : <I>image</I> <I>sources</I> ;
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Runs the command "<I>image</I> <I>target</I> <I>sources</I>"
to create <I>target</I> from <I>sources</I> and

<B>HardLink</B> <I>target</I> : <I>source</I> ;
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Makes <I>target</I> a hard link to <I>source,</I> if it isn't one
already. (Unix only.)

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Arranges the proper dependencies when the file
<I>source</I> includes the files <I>headers</I> through the

This rule is not intended to be called explicitly.
It is called automatically during header scanning on
sources handled by the Object rule (e.g., sources in
Main or Library rules).

the $(SUFLIB) suffix is used.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>LibraryFromObjects</B> <I>library</I> : <I>objects</I> ;
<BLOCKQUOTE>

Jambase Pseudotargets
</H3>
</A>
<P>
There are two kinds of Jam targets: file targets and pseudotargets.
File targets are objects that can be found in the filesystem.
Pseudotargets are symbolic, and usually represent other targets.
Most Jambase rules that define file targets also define pseudotargets
which are dependent on types of file targets. The Jambase pseudotargets
are:
<CENTER>
<TABLE CELLPADDING=5%>
<TR><TD>exe
<TD>Executables linked by the Main or MainFromObjects rules
<TR><TD>lib
<TD>Libraries created by the Library or LibraryFromObjects rules
<TR><TD>obj
<TD>Compiled objects used to create Main or Library targets
<TR><TD>dirs
<TD>Directories where target files are written
<TR><TD>file
<TD>Files copied by File and Bulk rules
<TR><TD>shell
<TD>Files copied by Shell rule
<TR><TD>clean
<TD>Removal of built targets (except files copied by Install* rules)
<TR><TD>install
<TD>Files copied by Install* rules
<TR><TD>uninstall
<TD>Removal of targets copied by Install* rules
</TABLE>
</CENTER>
<P>
In addition, Jambase makes the <b>jam</b> default target "all"
depend on "exe", "lib", "obj", "files", and "shell".

<P>
Most of the following variables have default values for
each platform; refer to the Jambase file to see what those
defaults are.
<P>
ALL_LOCATE_TARGET
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Alternative location of built targets. By default,
Jambase rules locate built targets in the source
tree. By setting $(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET)
in Jamrules, you can cause <b>jam</b>
to write built targets to a location outside
the source tree.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
AR

</BLOCKQUOTE>
LINKFLAGS
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Flags handed to the linker. Defaults to $(CCFLAGS).

to the source directory itself.
(Also, see ALL_LOCATE_TARGET.)
</BLOCKQUOTE>
LOCATE_TARGET
