SYNOPSIS

Description

14       ppumove  collects  one  or  several Free Pascal unit files and archives
15       them in a static or shared library.

Usage

19       You can invoke ppumove with as the only required argument the  name  of
20       the  unit  from  which you want to make an archive. Specifying multiple
21       files is also possible, they will be put in the same archive.

Options

25       ppumove has several options, which are case sensitive:
26
27
28       -b     This option tells ppumove to write a shell script (a batch  file
29              on  DOS) that performs the needed calls to ar and ld. The script
30              will be called pmove, with an extension of  .sh  on  Linux,  and
31              .bat on DOS. You can then call this script manually afterwards.
32
33
34       -d path
35              This  option tells ppumove where to generate the new unit files.
36              By default, this is the same directory as where  the  files  are
37              found.   If  you specify as the output extension the same exten‐
38              sion as the units you want to move, not specifying the  destina‐
39              tion directory may cause problems.
40
41
42       -e ext This  option sets the extension of the new unit files to ext. By
43              default .ppl is used. However,  you  can  specify  .ppu  as  the
44              extension.  If you do, be sure to use also the -d switch, or you
45              will overwrite the old units. Note however,  that  the  compiler
46              will  only  look  for  extensions .ppu and .ppl when looking for
47              units.
48
49
50       -h     Shows a short help screen.
51
52
53       -o file
54              This option allows you to specify the name of the library to  be
55              generated.   You  must  use this option if you specify more than
56              one unit on the command-line. If you specified only one unit  on
57              the command-line, the generated library will have the unit name,
58              with lib prepended (on Linux).  You do not need to  specify  the
59              lib part, this will be prepended automatically if needed.
60
61
62       -q     Tells ppumove to operate quietly.
63
64
65       -s     Tells ppumove to generate a static library. By default, a shared
66              library is generated (except on DOS).
67
68
69       -w     Tells ppumove it should use the windows linker and archiver.  Do
70              not use this option on Linux.
