Structure of a pack : overview

A pack is composed of the following four directories :

src : source codes directory

sys : installation directory of the precompilers

lib : directory of the archived object codes libraries

bin : directory of the executables

The directory src is composed of two or more directories :

local is the directory where the pack owner will copy the source code to compile

unsxref is a directory where the pack owner can signal that an unsatisfied symbol should be considered non-fatal at linking time

main is the bottom source code directory. It will exist only if the current pack is not a main pack. It contains the source code (and partly the object code) corresponding to the code release on top of which the pack is lying.

inter.* are stacked source code directories : inter.1, inter.2, inter.3 ...They exist only if the current pack is not a main pack and is not lying directly on top of a main pack. ''The reference'' pack corresponds to the stack directory with the highest number.

Any directory local is expected to have a directory tree mapped from the directory main. A modified source file should be copied inside the same subdirectory of the directory local as the original file is in the directory main.
