Classification of build target types

Declaration

Source position: fpmkunit.pp line 178

Description

TTargetType defines the different categories of build targets supported by the fpmake system:

ttProgram

represents a build target that produces an executable program file

ttUnit

represents a build target that produces a compiled Pascal unit. Unit targets generate .ppu files that can be used by other units and programs through the uses clause.

ttImplicitUnit

represents a unit target that is compiled automatically when needed by other targets, without being explicitly listed in the build process.

ttCleanOnlyUnit

represents a unit target that is only processed during clean operations to remove generated files. These units are not compiled during normal build processes but are included in cleanup operations.

ttExampleUnit

represents a unit target that serves as an example or demonstration. Example units are typically compiled separately from the main package and may have different installation rules.

ttExampleProgram

represents a program target that serves as an example or demonstration. Example programs showcase package functionality and are typically compiled separately from the main package components.

ttSharedLibrary

represents a build target that produces a dynamic shared library (.so on Unix, .dll on Windows).

ttFPDoc

represents a target that generates documentation using the FPDoc system. These targets documentation source code and XML documentation files.
