source: LMDZ5/branches/IPSLCM6.0.11pre/tools/fcm/bin/fcm @ 5425

Last change on this file since 5425 was 1578, checked in by jghattas, 13 years ago
  • Add fcm in LMDZ5/tools directory

It is no longer needed to have fcm in your environement PATH variable.
Now makelmdz_fcm takes by default this fcm. It is still possible to use
another fcm, using -fcm_path argument in makelmdz_fcm.

534$prog $cmd: invoke the build system.
535usage: $prog $cmd [OPTIONS...] [CFGFILE]
536
537  The path to a CFG file may be provided. Otherwise, the build system
538  searches the default locations for a bld cfg file.
539
540  If no option is specified, the options "-s 5 -t all -j 1 -v 1" are assumed.
541
542  If the option for full build is specified, the sub-directories created by
543  previous builds will be removed, so that the current build can start cleanly.
544
545  The -s option can be used to limit the actions performed by the build system
546  up to a named stage. The stages are:
547    "1", "s" or "setup"                - stage 1, setup
548    "2", "pp" or "pre_process"         - stage 2, pre-process
549    "3", "gd" or "generate_dependency" - stage 3, generate dependency
550    "4", "gi" or "generate_interface"  - stage 4, generate Fortran 9X interface
551    "5", "m", "make"                   - stage 5, make
552
553  If a colon separated list of targets is specified using the -t option, the
554  default targets specified in the configuration file will not be used.
555
556  If archive mode is switched on, build sub-directories that are only used
557  in the build process will be archived to TAR files. The default is off.
558
559  If specified, the verbose level must be an integer greater than 0. Verbose
560  level 0 is the quiet mode. Increasing the verbose level will increase the
561  amount of diagnostic output.
562
563  When a build is invoked, it sets up a lock file in the build root directory.
564  The lock is normally removed at the end of the build. While the lock file is
565  in place, othe build commands invoked in the same root directory will fail.
566  If you need to bypass this check for whatever reason, you can invoke the
567  build system with the --ignore-lock option.
568
569Valid options:
570  -a [--archive]     : archive build sub-directories?
571  -f [--full]        : full build
572  --ignore-lock      : ignore lock files in build root directory
573  -j [--jobs] arg    : number of parallel jobs that "make" can handle
574  -s [--stage] arg   : perform build up to a named stage
575  -t [--targets] arg : build a colon (:) separated list of targets

585  The path to a CFG file may be provided. Otherwise, the extract system
586  searches the default locations for an ext cfg file.
587
588  If no option is specified, the system will attempt an incremental extract
589  where appropriate.
590
591  If specified, the verbose level must be an integer greater than 0. Verbose
592  level 0 is the quiet mode. Increasing the verbose level will increase the
593  amount of diagnostic output.
594
595  When an extract is invoked, it sets up a lock file in the extract destination
596  root directory. The lock is normally removed at the end of the extract. While
597  the lock file is in place, othe extract commands invoked in the same
598  destination root directory will fail. If you need to bypass this check for
599  whatever reason, you can invoke the extract system with the --ignore-lock
600  option.
