Macros Pertaining To Libraries

The standard Makefile provides direct support for building shared and/or static libraries which have source files in C, C++ and/or Fortran. The following family of macros controls this process:

• HD_LIBRARY_ROOT: The root name of the library, without the prefix lib and without any suffix. For example, to build libmylib.so this macro would be simply mylib.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_c: A list of C source files with the suffix .c.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_C: A list of C++ source files with the suffix .C.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_cc: A list of C++ source files with the suffix .cc.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_cpp: A list of C++ source files with the suffix .cpp.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_cxx: A list of C++ source files with the suffix .cxx.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_f: A list of Fortran 77 source files with the suffix .f.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_f90: A list of Fortran 90/95 source files with the suffix .f90.
• HD_LIBRARY_SRC_f03: A list of Fortran 03 source files with the suffix .f03.

At least one of the source macros must contain at least one file if the HD_LIBRARY_ROOT macro is defined. With these macros properly defined, the standard Makefile will build the library as part of the default target. First all the source files listed in the source macros will be compiled, then they will be placed into the relevant shared or static library.
