Langinfo 

Definition

Langinfo is an initialization file from VMAKE. In this file you assign the individual programming languages to the tools that should be used for unpacking and translating  module files.

Use

If VMAKE finds a Langinfo file, the information contained in the file overrides the system default of VMAKE. To change or enhance the existing assignments, create a file with the name Langinfo in the desc directory. All further changes are then made in this file.

Each programming language is specified in the Langinfo file by a letter. This letter is defined in the Langextinfo file.

Syntax                   

<langinfo_line> = <comment_line> | (<lang_id><token_sep><unpack_inc_tool><token_sep><unpack exp tool><tokensep><unpack mod tool><tokensep><extension><tokensep><option prefix><tokensep>
<compiler tool>)

<unpack inc tool> = <token>

<unpack exp tool> = <token>

<unpack mod tool> = <token>

<extension> = .<token>

<option prefix> = <ext character><letter>

<compiler tool>  = <token>

Use the # character as the comment character.

System Default Value

last char	unpack include	unpack exports	unpack module	extension	option prefix	compiler	comment
t	mfpinc	mfpexp	mfp	.p	%T	comppc	# PASCAL
p	mfpinc	mfpexp	mfp	.p	%P	compp	# PASCAL
c	mfcinc	mfcexp	mfc	.c	%C	compc	# C
x	mfcinc	mfcexp	mfc	.cpp	%X	compc	# C++
a	mfainc	mfaexp	mfa	.s	%A	compa	# Assembler
r	mfcinc	mfcexp	mfrc	.rc	%R	comprc	# Resources

The scripts for unpacking a module file use the table entry in extension as the file extension.

Example

w mfcinc mfcexp mfrc .rc .res %W comprc2res
