Options may also be passed as
single letter sequences. All options apart from those
which control cleaning phases or the sudo
options, have a
single letter form which is prefixed by a single -
character. Those letters which correspond to phase control options can be
combined into into a sequence prefixed by single -
character or by -n
. In the latter case all options
corresponding to the letters of the sequence are disabled.
If the first phase control option encountered on the build script
command line is a single letter sequence and the sequence is not prefixed by
-n
, then all other phase control options are disabled.
The single letter equivalents of the previous two examples are
build -q
and
build -qm
All phases that correspond to a build process also have an upper-case single letter parameter form. This is equivalent to the single letter form preceded by the corresponding cleaning operation.
For example
build -m
will build the Qtc wrapper libraries using make
and
build -M
will clean and then build the Qtc wrapper libraries.
