Handling SubSystems & Steps

SubSystems

GBS recognises a numer of SubSystem types that can be either Full GBS or Non-Full GBS.
In general:

MSVS SubSystem

You should create/copy your main project of solution file directly in the 'app' directory.
You will already have a gbssub.bat file appropriate for MSVS, with lots of comments.
Run 'gbsedit gbssub' to change to the wanted functionality.

make SubSystem

You should create/copy your 'make' code treedirectly in the 'app' directory.
Your main 'make' file should be either in the SubSystem directory or the 'app' directory.
You will already have a gbssub.bat|.sh file appropriate for 'make', with lots of comments.
Run 'gbsedit gbssub' to change to the wanted functionality.

Other SubSystem

You should create/copy your code tree directly in the 'app' directory.
You will already have a generic gbssub.bat|.sh file, with lots of comments.
Run 'gbsedit gbssub' to to change to the wanted functionality.

Steps

By default SubStems are handled (gen, make, audit) in Alphabetical order.
With the definition of Steps in steps.gbs this order can be changed.
It is also possible to make selections of SubSystems optional in various ways.
It is also possible to define non-SubSytem steps, called 'Commands' that will allow you to execute commands to e.g.:
Copy end-results to a specific directory outside then GBS tree, run Doxygen on the whole GBS tree, etc
