Make control

Make control

[jim]

Hi,

I need to do some complicated stuff for an embedded app I'm working on. 
I need to:

compile .java files (using jikes)
execute a post-processor on the resulting class files
bundle everything up and FTP it to the target machine
send some commands over the serial port start everything going

Now I can do all this in a make file, but how do I get SN to execute it
correctly?  And is this explained in the documentation somewhere?

Thanks,
JD

Sure, take a look at "External build systems":

Be sure to select the directory where the make command will
be run.
