Hi,
We're starting up with ANT here. Part of the build process is to -:
(1) create TEMP directory (will be deleted with CLEAN)
(2) compile IDL from IDL to TEMP/SRC (using "idlj")
(3) copy other source from SRC to TEMP/SRC
(4) compile all source in TEMP to BUILD
We of course we like to make the process cover not performing step 2 unless
idl files have changed, ideally on a per IDL file basis.
Q1 - Does anyone know of a custom task for "idlj" that may be just
around the corner?
Q2 - If the answer to Q1 is no, what is the suggested ANT method of
implementing this?
Q3 - I do have an approach (see XML below) which works in terms
of only recompiling IDL if one of the IDL files is updated
HOWEVER the problem is after a CLEAN the "idlcheck" target
doesn't work properly as there isn't the target area to check
for the <uptodate> tag.
Any suggestions in terms of how to incorporate condition
logic here to address this?
<!-- -------------------------------------- -->
<target name="idlcheck" >
<uptodate property="idl.required"
targetfile="${dir.idl}/xxxx.idl">
<srcfiles dir="${temp.home}/src/xxx/yyy"/>
</uptodate>
</target>
<!-- -------------------------------------- -->
<target name="idl" depends="prepare" description="Compile IDL">

<arg value="${dir.idl}"/>

</exec>
</target>
