Hi, foamers.

i am compiling a new user-defined library and considering what the 'wmake' / 'wmake libso' command really does.
i noticed that firstly the 'wmakeLnIclude' script was executed and then the dependency list was made corresponding to the make/files. And then? What will be done next? Why was the ./lnInclude directory automatically made and what were the files in it and their usage?
i know that the make/files and make/options, which 'wmake' command refers to. But i really wonder the step-by-step process of the 'wmake' / 'wmake libso' execution.

Any help will be great appreciate!

Quick answer - I'll quote myself:

Then other libraries (and itself) can simply add to the search path a single directory path for each library.
