Omaha builds using Hammer from Google's open-sourced Software Construction Toolkit. This page covers some of the command line options that may be useful for building.
| hammer | Default build (debug, using precompiled headers, signed with test certificate, most subdirectories) |
|---|---|
| hammer MODE=dbg-win | Debug build |
| hammer MODE=opt-win | Optimized build |
| hammer MODE=all | Debug, optimized, and coverage builds |
| hammer --clean | Clean intermediate files (hammer -c also works) |
| hammer --verbose | Verbose output |
| hammer --use_precompiled_headers | Enable precompiled header support (default) |
| hammer --no-use_precompiled_headers | Disable precompiled header support |
| hammer --min | Minimum build (useful for quickly testing changes in goopdate.dll) |
| hammer --all | Complete build (all subdirectories) |
hammer --authenticode_file=<file> |
Use <file> as signing key. Must use .pfx file. |
hammer --authenticode_password=<password> |
<password> is the password for the signing key. |
| hammer --msvs | Generate a Visual Studio solution and projects |
| hammer omaha_unittest.exe | Build only the unit tests (useful for quickly unit-testing changes) |
Command line options can be combined, so the command:
hammer MODE=opt-win --min --verbose
will do a minimum optimized build, producing verbose output.
