Export
You can set the files to be included in each archive format of the RT component packaging function.
The settings screen is divided into sections for each archive format (Source Export, Binary Export, Source+Binary Export). Each section consists of an extension specification area and a file name specification area.
In the extension specification area, you can set the extensions of files to be included in each archive format. When you click the [Select Types] button, a type selection screen like the following is displayed. Select the file types you want to include in the archive.
| * Only registered extensions are displayed in the file extension list. If you want to select files that do not exist in the list, enter the corresponding extensions in the "Other extensions" field at the bottom of the screen, separated by ",". |
In the file setting area, you can set the file names to be included in the archive. When you click the [Add] button at the bottom of the “File name” list, a new row is added, so directly enter the file name you want to include in the archive. You can also delete the selected row by clicking the [Delete] button.
In the example shown in Export Settings Screen (Section) above, when “Source+Binary” is selected as the archive method, files with the extensions “cpp” and “h” and files with the names “Makefile” and “README” are included in the archive.
