Calling buildMakefile
builds a GNU makefile based on the project specification in the S4 BSysProject
object instance.
# S4 method for BSysProject
buildMakefile(.Object, Force = FALSE)
.Object
is an object instance of class BSysProject
that describes the code project.
Force
is a boolean that when TRUE
forces re-construction of the makefile.
Returns TRUE
if the makefile is created or re-created and FALSE
otherwise.
buildMakefile
constructs a makefile that represents the project specfication in the S4 BSysProject
object instance.
That instance is created with a call to new("BSysProject", ...)
constructor (see initProjectFromFolder
). If the makefile
already exists and is in sync with Object
then the makefile is left untouched, unless Force=TRUE
, in which case it is written afresh.
A makefile is determined to be in sync with the parent project by comparison of an md5 digest of the BSysProject
object instance
and the digest stored in the header comment line of the makefile.
