build_manifest Application in the MLRT Library

Introduction

The build_manifest application is a member of the Markup Library Rendering Tools (MLRT) Library. It's location in the MLRT build tree is illustrated in the diagram below.

The build_manifest application is used to root the MLRT Library onto a target system. As we are interested in operating system and chipset-independent software, we use the build_manifest application to root the library onto the target system. CMAKE is required for the build though this source code can be build independently if desired. It's a simple (vanilla) build.

—Move the MLRT Library to any convenient location to serve as the MLRT Library root

—Move into relative folder 'tools/build_manifest'

cd tools/build_manifest # Use the appropriate 'cd' command here (OS dependent step)

—Build the source code by running the CMAKE commands

cmake -B build

cmake --build build

—Run the build_manifest application (executable is in the build subdirectory)

build/build_manifest

Running build_manifest

The path provided below as a parameter to build_manifest is the desired root address of the MLRT Library source tree as illustrated in the diagram above.

>> build_manifest /home/wej/WORK/MLRT

The following output is produced
