Title: tce.dep
Post by: slinxj on July 14, 2009, 09:40:24 AM

Hi, I am trying to compile a .tce extension to test and was wondering if the .dep is a required file that is read in ? Or are all the files in the tce directory read in automatically so any dependant libs will be loaded.

Thanks

If you want to test a tce extension and the associated dep file, it is better to boot with the codes "base norestore" and copy the extension, the associated dep file and all dependent extensions to a directory such as /tmp/test.

/tmp/test would then contain something like:

extensionA.tce [the one to test]
extensionA.tce.dep
extensionB.tce
extensionC.tce
...

Where extensionA.tce, extensionB.tce, etc are listed in extensionA.tce.dep

Then try "tce-load /tmp/test/extensionA.tce" and if everything works, you're good to go.
