Last update : 25/04/2007

G_make - call make or nmake

### Calling Sequence

  `Rfiles=G_make(files,dllname)`

### Parameters

- `files` : a character string or a vector of character string.
- `dllname` : a character string.
- `Rfiles` : vector of character string. `Rfiles` can be used as a first argument when calling `addinter` function.

### Description

On Unix like systems (i.e unix or windows/gcwin32) `G_make` calls the `make` utility for building target `files` and returns the value of `files` in the variable `Rfiles` . On windows platforms, (i.e when Scilab was compiled with Microsoft VisualC++). `G_make` calls the `nmake` utility for building target `dllname` and it returns the value of `dllname` in the variable `Rfiles` . Of course `G_make` will work if apropriate Makefiles are provided in the current Scilab directory.

`G_make` can be used to provide OS independant call to addinter. and such examples can be found in the directory `SCIDIR/examples/addinter-examples`

    files=G_make([TMPDIR+'/ex1cI.o',TMPDIR+'/ex1c.o'],'ex1c.dll');// compilation
    addinter(files,'foobar','foubare'); // link
