ABSTRACT:
An automated computer program application, called an Automated Build Control (ABC) application, provides an improved tool for managing the software build process. ABC uses the specification of a programmer's original program files as input, and automatically identifies all header, include, and other shared library files, which eliminates coding of dependencies. ABC identifies embedded header files, such as those which are referenced in other header files. ABC identifies duplicate headers so future builds can be expedited. ABC ensures all necessary source modules are located and available for compilation, prior to compilation. ABC performs comparisons of date/time stamps and identifies what source modules require recompilation. Essentially, ABC evaluates the compiling and linking processes prior to performing them, thus detecting any potential errors or conflicts before any time and effort is wasted.
