2.3 The Workspace Directory Structure

The build process creates or adds to a workspaces directory structure that is used to store library, object, and header files. SPM uses the following convention to name the workspace:

rw_root\workspaces\OS+ver\COMPILER+ver\buildtype

For example, if the root directory is c:\rwav, the platform is Windows NT 4.0, the compiler is MSVC 6.0, and the library build type is 7s, the workspace is named:

c:\rwav\workspaces\WINNT4\MSVC60\7s

Appendix A lists the mnemonics for all the compilers and operating systems that Rogue Wave certifies. SPM appends version numbers to the mnemonics for your compiler and operating system. Section 2.5 describes build types.

Table 6 -- Organization of the workspaces directory structure

Directory	Description
`docs`	Threads.h++ readme file.
`lib`	Threads.h++ libraries.
`config`	Workspace configuration data.
`buildloc`	Build implementation workspace.
`rw`	Header files for Threads.h++.
`examples`	Rogue Wave product examples.
`examples\thrver+osfam`	Threads.h++ examples.¹

1	For MSVC, this directory may also contain .pdb files, which contain information about debug versions of the examples.
