The main usage model is calling devtools programs within project makefiles. To assist in referencing the devtools project, you should define the DEVTOOLS variable either in your environment variable settings or within your project's makefiles to point to the version of devtools you are using. To keep with common convention, your project's makefiles should define a default value for DEVTOOLS in case it is not set by the environment. Example:
ifeq ($(PROJECT_RELEASES),)
PROJECT_RELEASES = /home/projects/release
endif
ifeq ($(DEVTOOLS),)
DEVTOOLS = $(PROJECT_RELEASES)/devtools/version
endif
where version is the devtools version your project requires. This insures that your project will compile in a clean build environment (a requirement for project releases and snapshots).
devtools does not depend on any other projects. However, it does depend on the following 3rd-party software:
