ilib_compile
============

ilib_build utility: executes the Makefile produced by ilib_gen_Make



Calling Sequence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


::

    libn=ilib_compile(lib_name,makename [,files,ldflags,cflags,fflags,cc])




Arguments
~~~~~~~~~

:lib_name a character string, the generic name of the library without
  path and extension.
: :makename character string. The path of the Makefile file without
  extension.
: :files optional vector of character strings. If files is given the
  make is performed on each target contained in files then a whole make
  is performed
: :libn character string. The path of the actual generated shared
  library file.
: :ldflags,cflags,fflags,cc character strings to provide options/flags
  for the loader, the C compiler, the Fortran compiler. cc provides the
  name of the compiler.

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

Utility function used by `ilib_build`

This executes the Makefile produced by `ilib_gen_Make`, compiles the C
and fortran files and generates the shared library.

Shared libraries can then be used with the `link` and `addinter`
Scilab function for incremental/dynamic link.

**Note that a compiler must be available on the system to use this
function.**

On the internal technical level, under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, the
ilib_* function are based on the autotools. First, a configure is
executed to detect compilers available. Then, a make is launched with
the provided arguments. For more information: `Full technical
description of the incremental link / dynamic link`_

Since version 5.3.2, under GNU/Linux, Scilab detects where the
libstdc++ is located (thanks to the command gcc -print-search-
dirs|grep ^install:|awk '{print $2}' ). Previously, the dynamic link
was using the libstdc++ embedded in Scilab.
