Creates a new executable. The first argument specifies its name and
|
|
|
|
|
the remaining positional arguments define the input files to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lists for the kwargs (such as `sources`, `objects`, and `dependencies`) are
|
|
|
|
|
always flattened, which means you can freely nest and add lists while
|
|
|
|
|
creating the final list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The returned object also has methods that are documented in [[@exe]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Since 1.3.0* executable names can be the same across multiple targets as
|
|
|
|
|
long as they each have a different `name_suffix`.

When set to true, an import library is generated for the
|
|
|
|
|
executable (the name of the import library is based on *exe_name*).
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, when set to a string, that gives the base name for
|
|
|
|
|
the import library. The import library is used when the returned
|
|
|
|
|
build target object appears in `link_with:` elsewhere. Only has any
|
|
|
|
|
effect on platforms where that is meaningful (e.g. Windows). Implies
|
|
|
|
|
the `export_dynamic` argument.

Specify a Microsoft module definition file for controlling symbol exports,

etc., on platforms where that is possible (e.g. Windows).

This can be used to expose which functions a shared_module loaded by an

executable will be allowed to use.
