2 Invoking EBuild

EBuild can be run from any shell. If run without any arguments it reads the file `.build' and performs the actions of the first target in this file if any of the dependancies is newer.

The arguments are:

TARGET,FROM/K,FORCE/S,VERBOSE/S,NOHEAD/S,CONSTANTS/S,MESS/S:  

TARGET

Build the provided target rather than the first in the build file.

FROM

Allows you to use another file than .build

FORCE

Rebuild, regardless of whether it was really necessary.

VERBOSE

Print the actions while executing them.

NOHEAD

Don't print the heading line (version and copyright).

CONSTANTS

Print all symbolic constants and the strings they are replaced with.

MESS

Don't delete the action script after execution. Useful for debugging. Note that the script file name is target dependant.
