关于MPC

请教楼主,我很不明白MPC文件的作用,它是个啥子东西?在整个编译过程中是起到啥子作用?
哪里可以有他的使用手册?

Running the Workspace Generator
-------------------------------

The most common way to use the Make Project Creator is to run the
workspace generator (mwc.pl).This script will generate projects and a
single workspace that contains the generated projects.If no input file
(.mwc file) is specified, it will recurse into the directory in which the
script was started.It looks for .mpc files and generates a project or
projects for each one found.


Usage: mwc.pl [-global <file>] [-include <directory>] [-recurse]
            [-ti <dll | lib | dll_exe | lib_exe>:<file>] [-hierarchy]
            [-template <file>] [-relative NAME=VAR] [-base <project>]
            [-noreldefs] [-notoplevel] [-static] [-genins] [-use_env]
            [-value_template <NAME+=VAL | NAME=VAL | NAME-=VAL>]
            [-value_project <NAME+=VAL | NAME=VAL | NAME-=VAL>]
            [-make_coexistence] [-feature_file <file name>]
            [-expand_vars] [-features <feature definitions>] [-gendot]
            [-exclude <directories>] [-name_modifier <pattern>]
            [-apply_project] [-version] [-into <directory>]
            [-gfeature_file <file name>]
            [-language <cplusplus | csharp | java | vb>]
            [-type <automake | bds | bmake | em3 | ghs | html | make |
                      nmake | sle | vc6 | vc7 | vc71 | vc8 | vc8web>]
            

       -base         Add <project> as a base project to each generated
                     project file.Do not provide a file extension, the
                     .mpb extension will be tried first; if that fails the
                     .mpc extension will be tried.
       -exclude      Use this option to exclude directories when searching
                     for input files.
       -expand_vars    Perform direct expansion, instead of performing relative
                     replacement with either -use_env or -relative options.
       -feature_file   Specifies the feature file to read before processing.
                     The default feature file is default.features under the
                     config directory.
       -features       Specifies the feature list to set before processing.
       -gendot         Generate .dot files for use with Graphvis.
       -genins         Generate .ins files for use with prj_install.pl.
       -gfeature_fileSpecifies the global feature file.The
                     default value is global.features under the
                     config directory.
       -global         Specifies the global input file.Values stored
                     within this file are applied to all projects.
       -hierarchy      Generate a workspace in a hierarchical fashion.
       -include      Specifies a directory to search when looking for base
                     projects, template input files and templates.This
                     option can be used multiple times to add directories.
       -into         Place all output files in a mirrored directory
                     structure starting at <directory>.
       -language       Specify the language preference; possible values are
                     .The default is
                     cplusplus.
       -make_coexistence If multiple 'make' based project types are
                     generated, they will be named such that they can coexist.
       -name_modifierModify output names.The pattern passed to this
                     parameter will have the '*' portion replaced with the
                     actual output name.Ex. *_Static
       -apply_projectWhen used in conjunction with -name_modifier, it applies
                     the name modifier to the project name also.
       -noreldefs      Do not try to generate default relative definitions.
       -notoplevel   Do not generate the top level target file.Files
                     are still process, but no top level file is created.
       -recurse      Recurse from the current directory and generate from
                     all found input files.
       -relative       Any $() variable in an mpc file that is matched to NAME
                     is replaced by VAR only if VAR can be made into a
                     relative path based on the current working directory.
       -static         Specifies that only static projects will be generated.
                     By default, only dynamic projects are generated.
       -template       Specifies the template name (with no extension).
       -ti             Specifies the template input file (with no extension)
                     for the specific type (ex. -ti dll_exe:vc8exe).
       -type         Specifies the type of project file to generate.This
                     option can be used multiple times to generate multiple
                     types.If -type is not used, it defaults to 'make'.
       -use_env      Use environment variables for all uses of $() instead
                     of the relative replacement values.
       -value_projectThis option allows modification of a project variable
                     assignment .Use += to add VAL to the NAME's value.
                     Use -= to subtract and = to override the value.
                     This can be used to introduce new name value pairs to
                     a project.However, it must be a valid project
                     assignment.
       -value_template This option allows modification of a template input
                     name value pair.Use += to add VAL to the NAME's
                     value.Use -= to subtract and = to override the value.
       -version      Print the MPC version and exit.

The default global input file (config/global.mpb) is used if -global
is not specified on the command line.

Two include directories are used by default (config and templates).

Each project creator has a default template input file for each type of
project (dll_exe, lib_exe, dll, lib).You can override the default template
input file name with the -ti option.The file must have a 'mpt' extension
and must reside within the include search directories.NOTE: the 'lib' and
the 'lib_exe' template input files are only used if the project creator makes
a separate project file for dynamic libraries and static libraries.

The -exclude option is used to exclude directories when searching for input
files.NOTE: This option has no effect when used with mpc.pl.

The -gendot option (useful only to mwc.pl) will result in the generation of
.dot files for each workspace processed.Each .dot file will contain
information that can be fed to Graphvis to display the dependency
information for the various projects found within the workspace.

The -genins option will cause MPC to generate an "install" file after
processing each project that can be used in conjunction with the
prj_install.pl script to install different parts of the project (such as
header files) into an alternate location.

The -hierarchy option is used to force the generation of a hierarchical
workspace at each directory level in between the toplevel directory and the
location of the mpc file that is being processed.This is the default for
"make" based workspace creators.NOTE: This option only has an effect when
passed to mwc.pl.

The -template option is used to override the default template name.This
file should have a .mpd extension and sit in one of the include search
directories.NOTE: The -template option overrides the template file for all
types specified.

The -static option can be used to generate only static project files.

The -static_only option has been replaced by the -static option.Currently,
MPC only supports generating dynamic projects or static projects, but not
both during the same run.To generate them both you must run MPC twice, once
with the -static option and once without.Additionally, the vc6, em3, vc7,
vc71 and vc8 project names will no longer automatically have _Static
appended to the project name when generating static projects.This can
still be achieved by using the -name_modifier option.

When generating static projects, inter-project dependencies will not be
generated for libraries within vc6, em3, vc7 and vc71 workspaces.The
reason is due to the fact that each static library that depended upon another
would be combined at the library creation stage, resulting in extremely large
libraries.Dependencies are handled correctly by vc8.

This behavior can be modified by setting the
MPC_DEPENDENCY_COMBINED_STATIC_LIBRARY environment variable.It will force
MPC to generate inter-project dependencies for libraries within a single
workspace.

The -name_modifier option can be used to modify the generated workspace or
project name.The parameter to the -name_modifier option is a pattern where
an asterisk (*) within the pattern is replaced by the actual workspace or
project name.Thus, passing -name_modifier '*_Static' to mwc.pl will result
in all workspace and project names ending in _Static. (Ex. FOO_Static.dsw,
FOO_Static.dsp, etc.)

The -apply_project option, when used in conjunction with the -name_modifier
option, causes MPC to apply the name modifier to the project name in
addition to the workspace and project file names.This option has no effect
outside the scope of the -name_modifier option.

The -noreldefs option says not to generate default relative definitions for
*_ROOT (which comes from environment variables).

The -notoplevel option tells mwc.pl to generate all projects for a
workspace, but do not generate the top level workspace file.For mpc.pl, it
says process the mpc files, but do not generate the project files.

The -recurse option is used to search for all files that could be processed
from the current directory and its sub-directories.If directories are
passed in a comma separated list (e.g -recurse=examples,apps,TAO), then
those directories will be excluded when searching for project or workspace
files.

The -type option can be used multiple times on the same command line to
generate projects of different types per mpc file.The default type for
this version of MPC is 'make'.NOTE: The -ti option overrides the template
input file for all types specified.

The -feature_file specifies a file to be read that enables or disables
features.These feature names can be anything, but they should correspond
to values used for the 'requires' and 'avoids' keywords.If a feature is
required and is not enable then the project will not be created.If a
feature is to be avoided and it is enabled then the project will not be
created.

The -features specifies additional list of features values. Values
specified by this option overwrite values from features files.
Example:
mwc.pl -features "qos=1,ssl=0" ace.mwc

The -value_template option can be used to set various template variables.
If a template variable value will contain spaces, it is best to enclose the
whole setting in double quotes and use single quotes within the value to
retain spaces (if it is necessary).Below is an example where the value
will have spaces and some spaces need to be retained.

mwc.pl -value_template "configurations=Debug Release 'Memcheck Debug' 'Memcheck Release'"


Running only the Project Generator
----------------------------------

Most of what is stated about the Workspace Generator applies to the Project
Generator except that it only generates projects.If an input file (.mpc
file) is not provided, the project creator will attempt to create a default
project in the directory from which the script was started.


MPC Codebase Configuration File
-------------------------------
This configuration file can be used to specify alternate locations for the
MPC Configuration File.If a base.cfg is found underneath the 'config'
directory where MPC is executed, it will be read to determine the location
of MPC.cfg based on the directory in which MPC was started.

For example, if $MPC_ROOT/mwc.pl is run under /foo/bar_root/src and
$MPC_ROOT/config/base.cfg contained:

/foo/bar_root = /foo/bar_root/MPC/config

MPC would attempt to open and read /foo/bar_root/MPC/config/MPC.cfg as the
MPC Configuration File.If the base configuration file is not present,
MPC will try to use $MPC_ROOT/config/MPC.cfg as the MPC Configuration File.

You may reference environment variables, accessed by $NAME, on either side of
the equals sign.


MPC Configuration File
----------------------
In an effort to move away from the use of environment variables, a
configuration file has been introduced.The configuration file (MPC.cfg)
can contain settings to provide command line options, control logging and
direct MPC to dynamic project types.

The following keywords are allowed in the configuration file, which will be
read from the 'config' directory of MPC.

command_line   - Provide additional command line options to MPC.The
                   value of this setting will be prepended to the options
                   passed to mwc.pl or mpc.pl.
dynamic_types    - This comma separated list points to directories in which
                   MPC will search for Perl modules to implement additional
                   MPC project types, base projects or template files.This
                   setting can be used to augment or replace functionality
                   in MPC.For each suitable directory found, it will add a
                   'modules' include path for Perl to find modules, add a
                   'config' include path to locate base projects and a
                   'template' include path to find MPC templates.
includes         - Similar to the -include command line option, it adds the
                   list of comma separated paths to the MPC include search
                   paths.
logging          - If this setting contains info=1, informational messages
                   will be printed.If it contains warn=1, warning messages
                   will be printed.If it contains diag=1, diagnostic
                   messages will be printed.If it contains debug=1, debug
                   message will be printed.And lastly, if it contains
                   detail=1, detail messages will be printed.If it
                   contains none of these, MPC will not print out any
                   information or warnings when processing projects or
                   workspaces.Errors are always printed if any are
                   encountered.
verbose_ordering - If this is set, mwc.pl will warn the user about
                   references to projects in the 'after' keyword that have
                   not been processed.

Below is an example configuration file:

// MPC configuration file
dynamic_types = $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator
logging = info=1 warn=1
verbose_ordering = 1


Environment Variables
---------------------

MPC_DEPENDENCY_COMBINED_STATIC_LIBRARY - See the -static section above.

The following environment variables are deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of MPC
--------------------------------------------------

MPC_COMMANDLINE - The value of this environment variable will be prepended
to the options passed to mwc.pl or mpc.pl (if any are passed).

MPC_VERBOSE_ORDERING - If this is set, mwc.pl will warn the user about
references to projects in the 'after' keyword that have not been processed.

MPC_SILENT - If this is set, MPC will not print out any information or
warnings when processing projects or workspaces.Errors are always printed
if any are encountered.

MPC_LOGGING - If this is set, MPC will parse the value and provide
informational, warning, diagnostic and detail messages depending on it's
setting.If the MPC_LOGGING value contains info=1, informational messages
will be printed.If it contains warn=1, warning messages will be printed.
If it contains diag=1, diagnostic messages will be printed.
And lastly, if it contains detail=1, detail messages will be printed.If it

contains none of these, MPC will act as if MPC_SILENT was set.
